Azure Dynamics (http://green.autoblog.com/tag/azure+dynamics/) has signed an agreement with Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/), whereby the Oak Park, MI firm will integrate its plug-in hybrid technology into Ford's F-Series Super Duty (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/f-series+super+duty/) trucks.
Working in collaboration with Ford, Azure's plug-in hybrid technology will debut on the F-550 Super Duty chassis cab in early 2013. This agreement also allows for Azure to perform plug-in hybrid powertrain conversions on all available configurations of Ford's F-350 and F-450 trucks. Azure says that roughly two-thirds of its plug-in hybrid system will be applicable for all Super Duty configurations, with approximately one-third needing to be powertrain-specific (i.e. gasoline or diesel).
Additionally, the Azure-Ford agreement includes a so-called "ship-thru" provision that will allow Azure to sell its converted vehicles through qualified Ford Commercial Truck dealerships in North America. In 2009, Azure struck up a similar deal (http://green.autoblog.com/2009/10/30/ford-to-partner-with-azure-dynamics-on-transit-connect-bev/) with Ford for the Transit Connect Electric (http://green.autoblog.com/tag/transit+connect+electric/).Continue reading Plug-in hybrid Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks coming in 2013 (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/29/plug-in-hybrid-ford-f-series-super-duty-trucks-coming-in-2013/)
