Ford eShadow: lighter vans, more payload

Road to Net Zero Podcast

eShadow is an £8.5 million project - including £4.1 million in Government grant funding - aiming to develop a lightweight chassis design for electric commercial that significantly improves payload capacity without compromising durability or cost-effectiveness. 

Listen to this in-depth interview with late Professor Alan Banks, to whom we dedicate this episode. As UK Lightweight Innovations Manager at Ford, he had a central role in this project, and he is sorely missed. 

More information, and a video about the project, is available to watch here: https://www.apcuk.co.uk/impact/case-studies/ford-lighter-chassis-stronger-performance/
