Ford is moving forward with its electric vehicle plans through the launch of the F-Line E, the brand’s first heavy-duty electric truck. The new model was unveiled at the Solutrans fair in France and will be produced by Ford Otosan, a joint venture between Ford and Turkey’s Koç Holding. Ford Otosan handles the development and manufacturing of Ford’s heavy commercial vehicles across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
The F-Line E will be available in 4×2 and 6×2 versions. The larger 6×2 model uses four 98 kWh nickel manganese cobalt batteries, for a total capacity of 392 kWh (314 kWh usable). It can deliver up to 186 miles or around 300 kilometers of range on a full charge. Power comes from a rear-mounted electric motor producing 415 hp and 1,370 Nm of torque during normal driving, but it can reach up to 523 hp and 2,470 Nm at peak output. The truck also supports charging speeds of up to 285 kW.
Meanwhile, the smaller 4×2 variant carries three battery packs with a total of 294 kWh (235 kWh usable). It uses a less powerful motor rated at 315 hp, with a maximum of 389 hp, and offers up to 155 miles or about 250 kilometers of range. Its peak charging speed is rated at 213 kW. Both versions have a top speed of 90 km/h, prioritizing efficiency and stability for heavy-duty use.
The F-Line E was designed as a flexible work platform that can be configured for delivery fleets, municipal operations, and other utility purposes such as garbage collection. Its modular setup allows easy adaptation to different roles without major changes to its structure.
Through the F-Line E, Ford Trucks aims to strengthen its presence in the electric commercial sector while offering a cleaner, cost-efficient alternative to diesel-powered haulers. The new model is built to handle tough workloads while bringing lower emissions and maintenance costs for operators.
