DUNTON, UK – Photographer Stuart Price captured these stunning images of the new Ford Ranger Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), but can you guess where the photos were taken?

Spoiler alert. The answer is in Iceland where right now media are putting the vehicle through its paces both on and off the road for the very first time. Keep watching @Ford in the coming days to get their reactions.

Ford Ranger Plug-In Hybrid is already in full production at Ford’s facility in Silverton, South Africa, with first deliveries to European customers now also underway.

Ranger Plug-In Hybrid’s petrol-electric hybrid technology enables up to 43 km zero tailpipe emission driving and reduced cost of ownership alongside the same towing, load-carrying and off-road capability Europe’s pickup customers expect from the versatile truck that has been helping them get the job done for more than a quarter-century.

Available as an exclusive Stormtrak launch edition as well as commanding Wildtrak and high-specification XLT variants, Ranger Plug-In Hybrid also introduces Pro Power Onboard to the Ranger line-up for the first time – powering directly from the onboard battery up to 6.9 kW of tools and equipment for work and play.

“Ford knows pickups. Now we’ve combined decades of know-how, input from the customers that use Ranger for work and play every day, and innovative hybrid technology to create the Ranger Plug-In Hybrid,” said Hans Schep, general manager, Ford Pro, Europe. “Ranger Plug-In Hybrid can do everything Ranger does, with the added benefit of versatile electric power for more torque than ever, driving with zero tailpipe emissions in the city or running a worksite in the wilderness.”

Ranger Plug-In Hybrid’s all-new plug-in hybrid powertrain combines Ford’s 2.3-litre Ford EcoBoost petrol engine and 10‑speed automatic gearbox with a 75 kW electric motor (e-motor) and an 11.8 kWh (useable) lithium-ion traction battery. The battery can be charged by plugging into an external power source, as well as by the petrol engine or by capturing energy when coasting.

The battery takes less than four hours to charge using a single-phase 16 amp charger, and with a full charge, Ranger Plug-In Hybrid is capable of up to 43 km pure-electric driving – more than the daily driving distance of 52 per cent of Ranger customers according to Ford research.

Ford projections suggest business customers can also benefit from significant cost-savings: A Ranger Plug-In Hybrid customer in Germany could save €850 annually compared with the Ranger 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel, when charging daily using business electricity tariffs and driving 80 km per day.
