According to a new report from Financial Times, Ford is looking to move away from VW’s MEB platform as it’s developing its own in-house system.

Martin Sander, head of electric vehicles in Europe, says the new system has:

No kind of integration [with VW], it is very versatile, very capable. We are exploring all kinds of opportunities, how far we can gom what kind of segments we can cover with this.

Meanwhile, Sanders says a final decision has yet to be made, and Ford is open to developing EVs with VW or other automakers.
