Power-Up Software Updates Offer More Seamless New Features and Quality Enhancements

Settling in for a drive in an enhanced, upgraded vehicle will now become a regular experience for Ford owners as the company routinely delivers vehicle improvements through its wireless software update technology called Ford Power-Up.

The first Ford Power-Up software updates for Mustang Mach-E owners in Europe will accelerate a transformation well underway with more than 6 million vehicles on the road today globally featuring advanced, embedded modem connectivity. 

These vehicles identify customer preferences and vehicle issues, which our engineers then translate into quality and capability improvements delivered through Ford Power-Up enhancements.

“Software updates are common across billions of connected devices but not yet for vehicles. Ford Power-Up software updates will change that by quickly bringing it to millions of people. We’ve invested in more seamless technology so updates can happen while you’re sleeping – making your next ride a better experience.”

Mark Harvey, Director, Enterprise Connectivity, Ford of Europe.

These quick and easy wireless upgrades help enhance features, quality, experiences, capability and convenience. Capable of updating the vast majority of vehicle computer modules – more than 110 on higher end models – these upgrades can help improve the ownership experience and may help reduce the need for repair trips.

Many Ford Power-Up software updates will be virtually invisible to customers, with a technology platform that installs much of the new software in the background. Many updates require little to no action by customers, enabled by SYNC 4 technology that keeps current software running until the new version is ready to go.

For updates that require reboots, we invite customers to schedule them at convenient times, such as overnight. Unlike updates for devices such as laptops, which often seem to come at inconvenient times, vehicle owners may not even notice that the installation occurred until they start their vehicle.

Mustang Mach-E delivers up to 610 km WLTP homologated pure-electric driving range in rear-wheel drive, extended-range battery configuration.

The declared WLTP fuel/energy consumptions, CO2-Emissions and electric range are determined according to the technical requirements and specifications of the European Regulations (EC) 715/2007 and (EU) 2017/1151 as last amended. The applied standard test procedures enable comparison between different vehicle types and different manufacturers.
