Four electric motors—two at the front and two at the back—are powered by the battery. Each axle has a differential and a gearbox.
This implies you gain flexibility at the expense of having limitless e-motor-per-wheel torque vectoring capabilities.
Want to save weight and don't need the whole 2,000bhp?
Simply unbolt one or more motors, then continue.
Like the Porsche Taycan, a vehicle with a single-speed transmission on the front axle and a two-speed transmission at the rear will accelerate quickly off the line (0-62 mph in less than two seconds), but will also have a peak speed of more than 200 mph.
Consider how quickly you could transport packages in this.
All we're asking, Amazon, is consider it.
Aerodynamically, anything with the frontal cross-sectional area of a bus stop is never going to be ideal, but Ford has dug far into its toolbox.
A slit vent in the nose feeds air into a large carbon-fibre tube that bisects the interior and exhales over the back number plate to avoid having to go over, around, or under the van.
The Ford GT-inspired air tunnels, which improve airflow around the back and look just stunning, are also there. A front splitter, side skirts, a roof-mounted wing, and a suspended rear diffuser serve to assist them.
Additionally, Ford promises 500 kg of downforce at 186 mph, so it's not only for bragging rights on the construction site.
Additionally, there is a hydraulic handbrake, which says a lot about Ford's intentions with The Van.
The goal is adaptability, so it can be configured for drag racing, hot laps, drifting, roasting tyres, or taking some rally punishment.
The beauty of electric motors is that there are virtually no restrictions on where the power may be directed.
