Azure will be the Vehicle Modifier and will complete the hybrid modification on the E-350 and E-450 commercial chassis. Ford, as the OEM of the incomplete commercial vehicles, will provide Azure with assistance to facilitate the development of the hybrid electric powertrain.
D. Campbell Deacon, Deputy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Azure Dynamics said, “We are very pleased to conclude this agreement which puts an Azure powertrain in an extremely popular commercial vehicle chassis and will have application in both the truck and bus markets. The agreement includes an intention for Azure to enter into a Ford Ship-Thru agreement which would allow the modified vehicles to be offered through the Ford distribution network. Ford has stated its desire to become a world leader in hybrid vehicle technology. We are excited to work on this product.”
