Webcast: Indium with Ford VP

26 July 2023 News

In a special episode of Indium Corporation’s free webcast series EV InSIDER Live, co-hosts Brian O’Leary and Loren McDonald will interview Darren Palmer, vice president, Electric Vehicle Programs, Ford Model e, on the floor of The Detroit Auto Show. This unique session, titled ‘How Ford is Driving the EV Revolution: An Exclusive Interview’, will be broadcast live via LinkedIn.

As the industry transitions to electric vehicles, Ford has made it clear it intends to be an EV leader – targeting to reach 600 000 annual production units of EVs by next year. With highly-acclaimed EV models, including the F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E, a re-organisation into two divisions – Blue for internal combustion engine vehicles and Model e for EVs – the company is well positioned for a future dominated by batteries rather than pistons.

Prior to his current position, Palmer was general manager, Ford Electric Vehicles, responsible for leading the EV business in North America, including implementing a $50 billion transformation of the EV portfolio.
