Ford's top 2024 European moments

In Jan we began with the Courier’s ^1,2 first drive

A new compact van to help businesses thrive

We also revealed our extra-virgin mission:

Replace plastic with olives for a quick, smart transition

 

February flew past in a pony stampede

As we launched the new Mustang ^1,3 to continue the breed

You voted in droves for your Ultimate Pro

Those champion tradespeople the whole world should know

 

After 27 countries and seven months on the road,

Lexie completed her Charge Around The Globe

If you’re at a loose end, crack open the snacks

And relive the adventure, watch it all back

 

It was Mustang again as April began

Six decades of history earned legions of fans

We began taking orders for Mustang Mach-E Rally⁴

And confirmed that Europe gets Mustang GTD

 

May got productive with E-Transit Custom ^1,5

Supporting solutions? Of course we discussed them

From charging at home to alerts from the boss

If your driving’s not great or you somehow got lost

 

In June Mustang went to Le Mans and stood proud

We took third on our debut and redefined ‘loud’

Back home in Cologne the Explorer EV ^1,6

Entered production at the CEVC

 

EVs and Mustangs kept delivering thrills

At Goodwood in July where we shot up the hill

Then BlueCruise ⁷ rolled out, hands-free and eyes on

Across 15 markets to make road trips feel less long

 

August was van-shaped as Nugget PHEV ⁸ made waves

Plus the Active and longer L2 with more space

Then a global reveal of a decades-old great

Supervan 1 with a hardcore V8

 

Ranger’s ^1,9 already Europe’s favourite truck ¹⁰

But with PHEV you get even more zoom for your buck

Revealed in September at the IAA Show

Mixing petrol and electric. Compromise? No

 

Athletic, electric, a huge boot – and sporty

The new Capri  ^1,11 is rebellious, a bit naughty

Cantona and a goat added disruption

The legend is back – and now in production

 

We wrapped up the year with a cute EV gift

Puma Gen-E ⁸ continues our shift

To driving electric, big energy vibes;

Electric Yellow is as bold as it describes

 

So if you’re at work in a van and out on the road

Or taking it easy with feet up at home

Whether New Yearsing solo or with family and friends,

Take care on the roads and we’ll see you again
