The trucks were built on Ford chassis, have dual motors with options for up to 620 horsepower and up to 166 kilowatt hours of battery, and demand an approximate driving range of 350 miles.
 

The development of flexible, multi-propulsion platforms that allow manufacturers to develop multiple types of vehicles simultaneously that may be produced more efficiently. An example of this is Stellantis’ STLA Frame platform for full-size trucks and SUVs which was announced in November 2024. This platform is capable of supporting gasoline, diesel, hybrid and electric propulsion. Therefore, this type of platform allows for the efficient production of multiple models on a single architecture, while also lowering development costs and expediting the time to market of new vehicles in different propulsion configurations.
