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.
