Ford to go fully-electric in Europe by 2030

Ford is the fourth most popular car brand in Ireland, following Volkswagen, Toyota and Hyundai.

The firm is investing $22bn (€18 billion) in developing electric technology over the next four years.

Ford will sell only electric cars in Europe by 2030.

The US manufacturer announced all its cars and vans will have an electric or plug-in hybrid option by mid-2024, before its cars go pure electric by the end of the decade.
