Vehicle debuts at the NTEA Work Truck Show; scheduled for full
production by Q4 2019

BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/FordF250?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#FordF250lt;/agt;–XL,
the leader in connected vehicle electrification solutions for
commercial, utility and municipal fleets, has unveiled the first plug-in
hybrid electric Ford Super Duty F-250 pickup truck at the NTEA Work
Truck Show in Indianapolis. XL’s newest product expands its successful
plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) product family, which also includes the
XLP™ Ford F-150.

According to XL’s initial assessment, the XLP™ F-250 truck will provide
up to a 50 percent improvement in miles driven per gallon (MPG) over
conventional factory units, while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions by 33 percent during normal operation. These numbers are
consistent with what the PHEV F-150 has been proven to achieve at
EPA-certified testing facilities.

The XLP F-250 features a high voltage 15 kWh lithium-ion battery pack
that is compatible with Level 1 and Level 2 charging stations using an
industry-standard J1772 plug interface. The battery is also charged by
regenerative braking during driving, which captures and stores energy
while slowing the vehicle. The entire system weighs 750 pounds and is
professionally mounted onto existing factory components. The XLP F-250
has no effect on Ford factory warranties, and requires no special
maintenance procedures or charging infrastructure enhancements.

“The XLP F-250 is an important addition to the fleet industry, providing
the legendary performance of a Ford Super Duty truck with the proven
sustainability and fuel economy enhancements of an XL electrification
system,” said Tod Hynes, founder and CEO of XL. “The fleet industry is
looking for ways to electrify their trucks now, without adding
significant infrastructure costs or range concerns for their drivers.
This vehicle gives them that power.”

The product is scheduled to begin shipping to customers before the end
of 2019. The vehicle is on display this week at the NTEA Work Truck
Show, and will be formally introduced during a press conference in the
XL booth (#3175) on March 6 at 3:40 p.m.
