Ford picks "Fathom" for its affordable truck name, starts at $28,350
摘要
福特公布其全新平价电动皮卡命名为“Fathom”，起售价为28,350美元。该车型基于福特在加州秘密团队重新设计的通用EV平台打造，采用新的分区电子架构，以少量高性能计算机替代传统上百个独立控制单元，大幅减少线束用量。这是福特在首款电动F-150市场反响平平后，推出的第二代电动车战略的首款车型。
Ford's second attempt at an electric vehicle strategy is getting closer to primetime. After its initial approach of electrifying its best-selling F-150 fell a little flat, it decided to try something a little radical. An internal skunkworks was set up in California with a brief to rethink the idea of a universal EV platform from the ground up, taking into account the advances made by EV startups and clean-sheet designs both in the US but especially China.
And today, we found out what that first new EV—an affordable four-door pickup truck—will be called: the Ford Fathom.
We've known for some time that the first EV built on Ford's new UEV platform was going to be a pickup truck. And that it would use a new zonal architecture for its electronics, which massively reduces the amount of wiring needed by swapping the hundred or more discrete electronic control units you find in most new cars with a handful of powerful computers each controlling multiple domains.
