Ranger Plug-in Hybrid is set to deliver the best of both worlds

For small business owners and independent tradespeople, every day can be a new adventure.
 
One job might mean heading off the beaten path to work in a remote location, while the next could send you deep into the city.
 
Our new Ranger Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) is designed to offer commercial vehicle operators the best of both worlds, whether driving off-road or entering Europe’s growing number of urban low emissions zones.

When it goes on sale in early 2025, the PHEV version of Europe’s best-selling pickup will combine a petrol engine with an electric motor and rechargeable battery system.  Together, they’ll produce more torque than any Ranger before, and offer targeted 3,500 kg towing ability ¹ and four-wheel drive ² just like other Ranger pickups, while also enabling pure electric driving for a targeted driving range of more than 45 kilometres. ³

The battery can do more than drive the wheels. It can also power and recharge tools and worksites using the optional Pro Power Onboard system. That means noisy and bulky generators can be left at home, meaning more room in the cargo bed for other equipment.

And, of course, Ranger Plug-in Hybrid customers will also benefit from the Ford Pro ecosystem of solutions – simplifying the transition to electric vehicles with charging, software and service options to help their businesses thrive.

“The Ranger Plug-in Hybrid will help customers step forward into an electrified future, with more confidence and capability than ever before, while keeping Ranger at the forefront of innovation and leadership in the mid-size pickup truck segment.”

¹ Max towing varies based on cargo, vehicle configuration, accessories and number of passengers.
 
² Always consult the Owner’s Manual before off-road driving, know your terrain and trail difficulty, and use appropriate safety gear.
 
³ Officially homologated driving range, fuel efficiency and CO₂ emissions will be published closer to on-sale date. In accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP). A targeted range of more than 45 km can be achieved with a fully charged battery - depending on the existing series and battery configuration. The actual range may vary due to various factors (e.g. weather conditions, driving style, route profile, vehicle condition, age and condition of the lithium-ion battery).
 
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. CO₂ emission and fuel efficiency ranges may vary according to vehicle variants offered by individual markets.
