DEARBORN – Ford Motor Co. inked a deal with a Minnesota-based company that’s buying a fleet of 1,000 all-electric vehicles, specifically the F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E.
The sale is part of a long-term relationship between Ford and Ecolab, a sustainability business that specializes in water conservation, hygiene and infection prevention, as Ecolab works to electrify its North American operations by 2030.
To start off, Ecolab is focusing on converting its sales and service vehicles in California by 2025.
Ecolab will purchase the vehicles from Ford Pro for the initial push to electrify its California fleet. More than 550 of these will be the Lightning, primarily used as maintenance trucks, said Ford spokeswoman Elizabeth Kraft. The remaining 450 or so vehicles will be the Mustang Mach-E for the Ecolab sales team, she said.
The vehicles are scheduled to be built and delivered in 2024, and deployed by Ecolab by early next year, Kraft said.
