Ford pivots to 'super affordable EVs', delays larger models
The automaker is teasing an event it is holding on August 11 US time in Kentucky, which CEO Jim Farley describes as a "Model T moment" for the firm.
In a chat with Bloomberg Television, Mr Farley confirmed Ford will reveal the platform for "very low-end, super affordable EVs for urban duty cycles and for commercial".

This new platform has been developed in California with the battery integrated into the chassis, and some models have been revealed to dealers.
It's believed the first product using the platform will be a small ute, around the size of today's Maverick (above). The small EV ute is due to enter production in 2027, with some rumours indicate it could resurrect the Ranchero name (1960 model pictured below). In the US, the Ranchero name was used on a series sedan-based utes from 1957 to 1979, with the donor vehicles including Falcon, Torino and LTD.
It will be followed by a small electric SUV in 2028. If all goes according to plan, the platform could serve as the basis for eight different vehicles. All will be produced at the company's plant in Louisville, Kentucky, which currently manufactures the Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair. Both finish their innings this year, and won't be directly replaced.
In order to keep these small EVs affordable, they will be equipped with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries made at the company's new US$3 billion ($4.6 billion) BlueOval Battery Park in Marshall, Michigan. Due to come online in 2026, the plant is scheduled to be the first to produce LFP batteries in the States.
LFP batteries have less energy density than lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide batteries (NMC), but are significantly cheaper and less harmful to the environment.
With Ford training its sights on the lower-end of the EV market, it is delaying the full-size electric ute, known as 'T3', that's set to replace the F-150 Lightning until 2028. It has also pushed out the date for a new electric van, thought to be the next-generation E-Transit, until 2028 also. It's unknown if European production of this van will start earlier.
This isn't the first time Ford has changed its EV plans. In 2024 company cancelled plans to build a large electric three-row SUV for the US. With sales of its Volkswagen-based Explorer and Capri EVs not meeting expectations, Ford has reportedly approved the development of new internal combustion engine cars for Europe.

Trump signs order to extend China tariff truce by 90 days
Don't miss out on the headlines from Breaking News. Followed categories will be added to My News. US President Donald Trump on Monday ordered a delay in the reimposition of higher tariffs on Chinese goods, hours before a trade truce between Washington and Beijing was due to expire. The White House's halt on steeper tariffs will be in place until November 10. "I have just signed an Executive Order that will extend the Tariff Suspension on China for another 90 days," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. The truce on steeper levies had been due to expire Tuesday. While the United States and China slapped escalating tariffs on each other's products this year, bringing them to prohibitive triple-digit levels and snarling trade, both countries in May agreed to temporarily lower them. As part of their May truce, fresh US tariffs targeting China were reduced to 30 percent and the corresponding level from China was cut to 10 percent. Those rates will now hold until November -- or whenever a deal is cut before then. Around the same time that Trump confirmed the new extension, Chinese state media Xinhua news agency published a joint statement from US-China talks in Stockholm saying it would also extend its side of the truce. China will continue suspending its earlier tariff hike for 90 days starting August 12 while retaining a 10-percent duty, the report said. It would also "take or maintain necessary measures to suspend or remove non-tariff countermeasures against the United States, as agreed in the Geneva joint declaration," Xinhua reported. In the executive order posted Monday to its website, the White House reiterated its position that there are "large and persistent annual US goods trade deficits" and they "constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and economy of the United States." The order acknowledged Washington's ongoing discussions with Beijing "to address the lack of trade reciprocity in our economic relationship" and noted that China has continued to "take significant steps toward remedying" the US complaints. - Trump-Xi summit? - "Beijing will be happy to keep the US-China negotiation going, but it is unlikely to make concessions," warned William Yang, an analyst at the International Crisis Group. He believes China sees its leverage over rare earth exports as a strong one, and that Beijing will likely use it to pressure Washington. US-China Business Council president Sean Stein said the current extension is "critical to give the two governments time to negotiate an agreement" providing much-needed certainty for companies to make plans. A trade deal, in turn, would "pave the way for a Trump-Xi summit this fall," said Asia Society Policy Institute senior vice president Wendy Cutler. But Cutler, herself a former US trade official, said: "This will be far from a walk in the park." Since Trump took office, China's tariffs have essentially boomeranged, from the initially modest 10 percent hike in February, followed by repeated surges as Beijing and Washington clashed, until it hit a high of 145 percent in April. Now the tariff has been pulled back to 30 percent, a negotiated truce rate. Even as both countries reached a pact to cool tensions after high level talks in Geneva in May, the de-escalation has been shaky. Key economic officials convened in London in June as disagreements emerged and US officials accused their counterparts of violating the pact. Policymakers met again in Stockholm last month. Trump said in a social media post Sunday that he hoped China will "quickly quadruple its soybean orders," adding this would be a way to balance trade with the United States. China's exports reached record highs in 2024, and Beijing reported that their exports exceeded expectations in June, climbing 5.8 percent year-on-year, as the economic superpower works to sustain growth amid Trump's trade war. Separately, since returning to the presidency in January, Trump has slapped a 10-percent "reciprocal" tariff on almost all trading partners, aimed at addressing trade practices Washington deemed unfair. This surged to varying steeper levels last Thursday for dozens of economies. Major partners like the European Union, Japan and South Korea now see a 15-percent US duty on many products, while the level went as high as 41 percent for Syria. The "reciprocal" tariffs exclude sectors that have been targeted individually, such as steel and aluminum, and those that are being investigated like pharmaceuticals and semiconductors. They are also expected to exclude gold, although a clarification by US customs authorities made public last week caused concern that certain gold bars might still be targeted. Trump said Monday that gold imports will not face additional tariffs, without providing further details. The president has taken separate aim at individual countries such as Brazil over the trial of former president Jair Bolsonaro, who is accused of planning a coup, and India over its purchase of Russian oil. Canada and Mexico come under a different tariff regime. bur-bys/sla/bjt Originally published as Trump signs order to extend China tariff truce by 90 days

Ford Ranger-sized ute to debut Blue Oval's new affordable EV platform
Ford is making bold claims about its new electric vehicle (EV) platform, which will debut underneath an all-new dual-cab electric ute for global consumption, with the American automaker saying it's 'reinventing vehicle assembly' and that this is a 'Model T moment'. Much as Ford calls the Model T the 'Universal Car', its new platform is being called the Ford Universal EV Platform. The first model to emerge on this platform will be a new 'midsize' (so, Ford Ranger -size) electric pickup which will debut in 2027, and which will be built in the US for both that market and as-yet unspecified export markets. Whether that will include Australia has yet to be confirmed. 'It's too early to share specifics on export markets today,' said Ford Australia in a statement today. Ford is targeting a base price of around US$30,000 (A$46,000) for the new ute in the US, which it says is 'roughly the same as the Model T when adjusted for inflation'. For context, the Escape starts in the US at US$29,515 (~A$45,000), while the related Maverick unibody dual-cab starts at US$28,145 (~A$43,000) and the body-on-frame Ranger at US$33,350 (~A$51,000). CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. Ford hasn't revealed what this ute will look like or what it will be called – though it recently trademarked the Ranchero name, which was previously seen on Ford pickups – but official images and statements confirm it will come in a dual-cab configuration with room for five adults. 'It will be as quick as a Mustang EcoBoost, and it will have more passenger volume than a 2025 Toyota RAV4 – along with a truck bed, smart cargo and frunk solutions,' said Ford president and CEO Jim Farley at the launch. Specifically, Ford says it has a targeted 0-60mph (0-96km/h) acceleration time as fast as a Mustang EcoBoost, which does the sprint in a claimed 4.9 seconds, while featuring more downforce. Ford says you'll be able to lock your surfboards and other gear in the tub, with no roof rack or trailer hitch racks required. Additional specifications, as well as its reveal date, base price, battery range and capacity and charge times, will be announced at a later date, but Ford promises it new electric ute will offer a long driving range, DC fast-charging and the ability to charge a home for six days. Fords based on this platform will use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) prismatic battery-packs assembled in the US, which will serve as a structural sub-assembly and the vehicle's floor to ensure a low centre of gravity, a quiet cabin, and a spacious interior. The automaker has released a GIF that shows the various vehicle types set to use the new platform, which appears to include not only a dual-cab ute, but also a van, people mover, and both two- and three-row SUVs of different sizes. Ford says the platform supports utes, cars and 'everything in between'. 'Vehicles assembled on this platform will be affordable for the average family — but also highly efficient, customisable, and fun to drive,' said Mr Farley. 'And they won't be stripped down to the bare essentials. 'Instead, these vehicles will be packed with innovative features and new software experiences that set them apart — and make people want to drive them. 'Better yet, they'll improve over time with over-the-air updates that continue to add new capabilities where available.' Vehicles on this platform will be produced at an overhauled plant in Louisville, Kentucky, but they were engineered by a startup-style 'skunkworks' engineering team in California. Along with the Ford Universal EV Platform comes what the Blue Oval is calling the Ford Universal EV Production System. Ford says in the interests of efficiency it's replacing its traditional assembly line into an 'assembly tree'. Instead of one long conveyor, three sub-assemblies run down their own lines simultaneously before joining up. Compared to a 'typical vehicle', Ford says the platform reduces parts by 20 per cent with 25 per cent fewer fasteners required. In the new ute, the wiring harness will be 1.3km shorter and 10kg lighter than the one used in the Mustang Mach-E. Ford will use large, single-piece aluminium unicastings to replace dozens of smaller parts, which it says enables the front and rear of the vehicle to assembled separately. The front and rear of the vehicle will come down separate branches of the 'assembly tree' and meet up with a third sub-assembly, the structural battery, which is independently assembled with seats, consoles and carpeting. And voila, a Ford EV is born. Ford says its new production system also 'dramatically improves ergonomics for employees', with less twisting, reaching and bending required. It claims assembly of the new electric ute could be up to 40 per cent faster than that of the Louisville plant's existing vehicles, the mid-size Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair crossovers which will be axed to make room for the new EVs. Above: BlueOval Battery Park Michigan The Louisville plant is receiving a US$2 billion (A$3bn) investment, while a further US$3 billion (A$4.6bn) is being invested at BlueOval Battery Park Michigan. Ford is touting 3900 jobs as being secured across both sites. 'We have all lived through far too many 'good college tries' by Detroit automakers to make affordable vehicles that end up with idled plants, layoffs and uncertainty,' said Mr Farley. 'So, this had to be a strong, sustainable and profitable business. From day one, we knew there was no incremental path to success. 'We empowered a tiny skunkworks team three time zones away from Detroit. We tore up the moving assembly line concept and designed a better one. And we found a path to be the first automaker to make prismatic LFP batteries in the US' Ford's efforts in the EV space thus far have had mixed success. Above (clockwise from top left): Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning, E-Transit, Puma Gen-E While a much stronger seller in the US than in Australia, where it languishes on the sales charts, the Mustang Mach-E has failed to topple the Tesla Model Y even in Ford's homeland. The F-150 Lightning played to Ford's strengths, taking its best-selling vehicle and re-engineering it for an electric powertrain. Alas, strong early demand has tapered off. Ford scrapped a previously planned large three-row SUV in August 2024, and delayed a new electric pickup to 2027 while also confirming it would look at more hybrid models and its first extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs). This month, it delayed the proposed F-150 Lightning replacement to 2028, along with a new electric van. Ford already has electric versions of its Transit and Transit Custom, which along with the Mustang Mach-E are the only EVs it sells in Australia. It has a wider EV lineup in Europe, with the Capri and Explorer crossover SUVs – both using Volkswagen's MEB architecture – plus the Puma Gen-E which was set to launch in Australia before these plans were cancelled.
