Written | Little Devil

Ford’s luxury brand Lincoln has recently confirmed that its first battery electric vehicle will be in the 2022, and it will be from four Part of the Lincoln Electrification lineup consisting of pure tram types.

Lincoln did not specify which models included in this product, but it pointed out that the Ford plans to invest more than $ 30 billion in the electrification field in 2025.

Lin Zone said this is the beginning of the next era, and it is expected that there will be a turning point in about 2025, and it is nearly the same global sales. Half will be a pure electric vehicle model.

Although the general Cadillac, which is gradually eliminated in the next decade, with the launch of the new electric car, Lincoln will still provide a series of hybrid motivation, plugging over the next ten years, perhaps There is a choice of non-hybrid models.

The first electric vehicle launched in 2022 will be created based on a new flexibility platform.

Lincoln said that this electric vehicle will provide a more spacious cockpit, with the upgraded version of the “leading modern aesthetics” and Lincoln Star.

Kemalcuric, director of design, said that although the Lincoln ZephyrRreflection concept car on April this year is not listed, but It has indicated the design direction of Lincoln future.

The ultra-simple body panel, throughout the front-end lighting element of the entire face, and the panoramic glass roof of natural light into the cabin, these may define future Lincoln.

In the car, the future model will be characterized by the screen of “coast to the coast”, bringing “a truly restored space”, and the car will also provide various optional themes Adapt to the driver’s emotions.

Ford announced that it is Ford and LincolneThe train is prepared for two special platforms – one will be used for medium-sized cars, support from cross-border cars to pick-up and full drive models.

The other is a large car platform, designed for next-generation full-size leather cards, while Lincoln’s first electric vehicle will also be born on top of the previous platform.

Although not specifically pointed out the name of the new car, the last month of Fort In the Investor Network Conference introduced two new platforms, it would launch a pure version of explorer, and The Lincoln brand corresponding to the car is a pure version of the flying home, which may be a hint of Lincoln’s first electric vehicle.

In addition, Kumargalhotra, president of Fort North America, has also announced that Lincoln will launch a “elegant electric vehicle on the basis of Ford Maka Mach-E.

The technical cross-sectional view of a new platform released last month showed that this new platform appeared almost exactly the same as that supporting Mach-E.

Tang Haoetai, director of Ford Global Products, said the architecture is the Mach-E evolution architecture, which “maximizes bandwidth, and optimizes versatility”, but adds a complete technical stack to centralize, coordinate The hardware sensor is connected to the cloud computing and edge computing.

That is to say, the future Lincoln Electric Vehicle will be a Mach-e evolution architecture and cloud-based online technology networking car. So in this way, the first electric vehicle may still be mentioned by Lincoln.

As for Lincoln announced in April last year to cooperate with the new forces company RIVIAN to develop a large-scale electric SUV product (according to some reports called marke), it has been confirmed.

Lincoln plans to launch a seven SUVs with the same RIVianR1S on a large car platform of Rivian, but use completely different appearances and interior design.

Due to the sudden outbreak of the new crown epidemic, Lincoln announced that the cooperation project has been terminated.

In the process of transition to the electric vehicle, Lincoln also announced the launch of “a set of enhanced interconnect services” and cooperation with the charging network.

Lincoln pointed out that its car network service will “create more interconnected sensory experience.”

By updating the Alexa wireless connection function, wireless software update, and its driving assistance system ActiveGlide update, this American luxury brand hopes to show some things that are not always true in daily life: it can Forever online,

can also provide a tranquil car experience.

In terms of charging, Lincoln has established cooperative relations with Electrryamerica and other charging networks to create a Lincoln exclusive charging network.

Lincoln provides the plug-and-play charging experience provided by the owner, similar to the service provided by Ford as the wilderness Mach-E, but it will pass Lincoln’s smartphone app for charging network navigation, battery management and payment. Integration of functions. As a luxury brand characterized by customized service, Lincoln also hopes to attract more consumers through personalized services and user benefits.

To this end, the brand is tested by the mobile app on the mobile app on the mobile app. If the test is successful, Lincoln will put this Service is promoted to regions other than Texas.

In the second-line luxury brand, Lincoln is not active on the response of electric transformation.

Compared to Volvo, Big Stars, Jaguar, Cadillac has put on the market or to put on the market immediately, Lincoln has announced that the electric vehicle is also announced, but there is no product truly Floor.

This situation has been directly related to the start of the electric vehicle market, not like the public, modern, general, Renault- Nissan is actively developing a special electric vehicle platform. Ford is not intended to invest too much in this area, so that Ford is currently in the market, only Mach-E, a passenger electric vehicle product, and is a loss throughout the electric vehicle market. The first machine.

Lincoln has no suitable electric vehicle platform, and I want to make a car.

Originally, it wanted to compact Rivian’s light, let the latter produce a “OPT” electric car, first entered the full-size pure electric luxury car market, but the sudden outbreak of the necropsy epidemic causes the purchase power Declined with labor forces, so that both sides have no time to work together.

Good Ford has been innevible to see the electric trend in Ford, and the development of special electric vehicle platforms as decided to other mainstream car brands in May this year, Lincoln can finally use the special platform of home.

As Lincoln announced that the first pure tram type was launched in 2022, it can be seen that the electrified transformation movement of this American traditional luxury brand has begun to be officially advanced.

Of course, we can also use “good meals are not afraid of late” to look forward to what pure electricity experience from these new cars brought by Len Lin. [IDailycar]
