Ford's finance head says that the Lightning name has no been confirmed for its next-generation electric pickup.The automaker is working on two new platforms, one for large EVs, like the next-gen pickup, and the other for smaller, more affordable vehicles.The smaller platform is being designed by a skunkworks team led by Tesla alumnus Alan Clarke and will help Ford's electric business become profitable.
The platform for smaller vehicles is being modeled after EV designs from Tesla and various Chinese brands, aiming for quicker market entry and cost reduction. While a separate team is designing the larger platform, Lawler emphasizes the potential cross-application of lessons learned between both projects. That's why we started the group out in California, which is a group of highly successful EV engineers designing a new platform for us in a much different way, said Lawler.
