Ford has confirmed that its next electric car will arrive in just two years and it s set to be built at a redeveloped Cologne manufacturing plant. The factory will become the Ford Cologne Electrification Centre - a dedicated electric car manufacturing site that will produce two Ford EVs developed specifically for the European market.
The first vehicle to be built at the new Cologne site will be based on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB electric car platform, following the announcement in 2019 that Ford had signed a deal to use VW’s tech. It’s likely to take the form of a small SUV, incorporating design inspiration from the brand’s new all-electric performance SUV - the Mustang Mach-E - and becoming the third member in a growing Mustang family.
