Ford Go Electric: seven-day event with all about electrification and Ford's electrified powertrains
11 september 2020
Mustang Mach-E GT
The very powerful and fast Mustang Mach-E GT will also be shown for the first time in Rotterdam. The GT stands out with its power of 465hp and a torque of 830Nm. The exact performance has not yet been announced, but it is clear that the standard sprint up to 100 km/h will take less than 5 seconds. In addition to the sizzling acceleration power, the Mustang Mach-E will be available with all-new Flexira aluminium performance calipers from Brembo. The Mustang Mach-E GT is also equipped with MagneRide® adaptive chassis technology, which offers an endearing driving comfort. The GT comes standard with AWD and the large battery pack of 98.8 kWh. The WLTP driving range is estimated to be about 500 km.
The introduction to electrification
With Go Electric, Ford wants to introduce the general public to the different types of powertrains. From mild hybrid, hybrid and plug-in hybrid to fully electric. In 20 minutes we will be told about the difference and what is the most interesting form of electrified driving. At the end of the experience, each visitor will be told which form of electrification best suits his or her personal situation.
100% touch free
Of course, the corona measures are taken into account, which is why Go Electric is 100% touch free. This means that a small group enters the booth every 20 minutes under the guidance of a host. Here, mouthcaps are mandatory.
Visit Go Electric
For a visit to Go Electric, interested parties can visit the Grotemarkt in Rotterdam, next to the famous Markthal. To be assured of a place and to avoid waiting time there is the possibility to reserve a time slot in advance. During Go Electric, several models are on display. The brand new all-electric Mustang Mach-E is present, but you can also get acquainted with the new Ford Explorer Plug-In Hybrid, the Mondeo Hybrid, the Kuga Plug-In Hybrid or the Puma Mild Hybrid.
Self-driving
After the experience, it is possible to take a short test drive with one of Ford's electrified models. Registration for test runs is only possible on site. Availability is limited, so full is full. The following models can be used to test:
After Rotterdam, the Ford Go Electric event will be shown in Germany, Italy, France and Spain.
Starting today, it is possible to register to visit Ford Go Electric. The event will be open to media on September 24. From 25 September to 1 October, Go Electric is free for consumers.
