The investments, along with Ford’s already-achieved success in the EV sector, has the company on track to also reach carbon neutrality no later than 2050 across its vehicles, operations, and supply chain. We are excited and optimistic about the future and look forward to making carbon-neutral transportation a reality.”

While this performance feat is certainly impressive, it detracts from the primary goal of electric vehicles which is to help reduce carbon emissions from the transportation sector as quickly as possible. My real point, however, of this short commentary of an article is not about safety and speed – but about reducing carbon emissions.

Ford is focused on lightweighting as a key enabling technology for lowering fuel consumption in combustion-engined vehicles (ICE) and for extending the range—and the size—of battery electric vehicles (EVs). Once you take the weight out, you take the engine down and get substantial deltas in fuel economy.
