Martin Sander, in his role as General Manager, will lead the delivery of breakthrough electric vehicles, as well as the development of software and connected vehicle technologies and services.
This underscores Ford's commitment to accelerating the electrification of its European product range, achieving zero emissions for all vehicle sales in Europe and carbon neutrality across its European footprint of facilities, logistics and suppliers by 2035.

Starting next year, Ford will produce its first volume all-electric passenger vehicle for Europe in Cologne.
