Azure Dynamics has signed an agreement with Ford, whereby the Oak Park, MI firm will integrate its plug-in hybrid technology into Ford’s 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).

In 2009, Azure struck up a similar deal with Ford for the Transit Connect Electric.Continue reading Plug-in hybrid Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks coming in 2013
