On April 29th, according to Bloomberg, Ford may decide to develop a second vehicle on Volkswagen’s MEB platform and an agreement will be reached in the coming weeks.
In June 2020, Ford and Volkswagen signed a strategic alliance agreement to complement each other in the fields of midsize pickups, commercial vehicles, and electric cars.
Ford plans to launch its first all-electric vehicle based on the MEB platform in the European market in 2023. This car may be an electric version of the Ford Focus and will be produced in Cologne, Germany.
In the field of autonomous driving technology, Ford and Volkswagen also jointly invested in the autonomous driving startup Argo AI.
Now, the plan for the development of the second Ford vehicle from the MEB platform is about to be finalized, which will deepen the cooperation between the two car companies in the field of electric vehicles.
