Ford Motor Company plans to introduce an all-new commercial van in its fully electric portfolio that will begin production in 2026, closely followed in 2027 by two new pickup trucks.

Ford will focus on its next generation of electrified and digitally equipped vehicles with competitive advantages — commercial vans, midsize and large pickup trucks, and long-range SUVs — and will offer various electrification options with, according to Ford, lower prices and longer ranges.

The rollout of Ford’s next generation of electric vehicles (EVs) begins with a commercial van assembled at Ford’s Ohio Assembly Plant in 2026. Ford has a notable commercial EV presence, led by E-Transit, an electric van suitable for fleets of all sizes.

Project T3 Launch Pushed to 2027

Ford’s next-generation electric truck will build on the company’s century-long heritage of truck development and their electric truck, the F-150 Lightning.

Ford is retiming the launch of its new electric truck code-named “Project T3” to the second half of 2027. Incorporating lessons learned from F-150 Lightning users, the new truck will offer features never seen on any Ford truck, including upgraded bi-directional charging capability and advanced aerodynamics. The truck will be assembled at BlueOval City’s Tennessee Electric Vehicle Center.

Retiming the launch allows the company to utilize lower-cost battery technology and take advantage of other cost breakthroughs while the market develops.

New Platform Powers Ford’s Next Midsize Electric Pickup

The second electric truck will be a medium-sized pickup based on the platform designed by Ford’s California skunkworks team. In 2022, Ford created a “skunkworks” lab to develop affordable EVs by changing the company’s approach to next-generation vehicle creation and bending the cost curve on EVs.

The first affordable vehicle off this new platform will be the mid-sized electric pickup launching in 2027. The program is designed to deliver expandable personalized digital experiences, constantly updating and building on Ford features like BlueCruise and Ford Pro Telematics.
