Ford has confirmed a 25-mpg combined EPA fuel economy rating for the most fuel-efficient version of the F-150 hybrid lineup, which carries the PowerBoost badge. Ford says that 4x2 versions of the F-150 hybrid come in at 25 mpg city, 26 highway, and 25 combined—with a range of 750 miles on a tank of gasoline. That gives them the highest gas... At 25 mpg, the 2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid is the efficiency leader of big gasoline trucks

Skateboard platforms are becoming a common go-to for startup electric vehicle makers, as they’re essentially self-contained—packaging most of the core mechanical and propulsion components together in a “rolling chassis.” That building block, with a little modification, can be tested on its own—which is what Lordstown... 
Mercedes shows a new generation of electric vans. Toyota is pushing ahead with more fuel-cell semis. And Rivian ramps up to offer charging in some out-of-the-way places. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. Rivian plans to include a two-tier charging strategy that will include both DC fast-charging and AC charging, under a network that will... 
Toyota has renewed its commitment to fuel-cell technology for powering big Class 8 electric trucks, and with some advances it’s hoping to expand their use to a lot more than the short-distance port duty they’ve been doing so far. As it's today delivering the first of a group of 10 trucks from a project announced nearly two years ago... 
The next-generation Mercedes-Benz eSprinter electric van will be sold in the United States, but it's not expected to arrive for nearly three years. Mercedes doesn't offer the current eSprinter in the U.S., but the automaker confirmed Wednesday that a new version currently under development will be sold here. The current version shares a basic... 
Rivian has begun work on its own charging network, with a "two-tier" strategy that will include DC fast charging and slower AC charging, CEO RJ Scaringe said in an interview with TechCrunch. Unlike previous charging-network projects, Rivian will locate stations near hiking trails, kayaking spots, and other recreational destinations, in order to... 
Plug-in hybrids might be polluting a lot more than the emissions-test numbers suggest. Portland is re-upping on the Electric Avenue concept, but for big electric trucks this time. Daimler’s Smart plant sale will enable something that’s not small and not electric. And could solid-state battery tech arrive by the middle of the decade?... 
Ineos Automotive confirmed on Tuesday that it’s acquired the Daimler AG facility in Hambach, France that builds Smart EQ Fortwo electric cars—for building throwback SUVs that are gasoline, diesel, and perhaps hydrogen fuel-cell powered. The plant, which has been nicknamed Smartville and has made future-leaning cars from the city-car... 
Earlier this month, Portland General Electric and Daimler Trucks North America, which is headquartered in Portland, established a charging testbed for medium- and heavy-duty electric trucks. Like the original “Electric Avenue” for electric-car charging (I attended the dedication in 2011), Daimler and PGE say that the effort, nicknamed... 
Real-world emissions of plug-in hybrids on European roads are significantly higher than automakers claim, according to a report released earlier this month by the environmental group Transport & Environment. While real-world emissions are always dependent on how often owners plug in, many plug-in hybrids "lack the necessary EV power, range...
