Ford has confirmed that it will take the MEB architecture from Volkswagen for 20 years from 2023, for a total of about 600,000 platforms. The cooperation is the result of a previously announced cooperation, which first concerned commercial vehicles, but later expanded to include electric cars.

For modular MEB architecture developed exclusively for purely electric cars, another new Ford will be built, which is referred to behind the scenes as a “baby Mustang”. According to information from the British magazine, the new model will arrive in 2023 and will fit in size Volkswagen ID.3. However, he gets a more pronounced proportions in the style of crossover and especially a mask inspired by the iconic Mustang, as is the case with the Mach-E Mustang.
The production of the electric car will be provided by the plant in Cologne, which is to be transformed into an electric car factory over the next few months. Ford is investing one billion dollars (about 22 billion crowns) in the plant in Cologne alone, and because it really buys a lot of platforms about Volkswagen, it probably won’t stay with just one electric car. In the next four years, the Blue Oval is to invest $ 22 billion (CZK 470 billion) in connection with electrification.

Among other things, the British magazine reminded that a small Fiesta is currently being produced at the plant in Cologne. There is speculation that a small model in Ford’s offer could definitely end and be replaced by a new electric car. However, AutoExpress sources are inclined to the variant that the Fiesta production will be moved to Valencia, which ensured the production of the model until 2012.
