Ford tries to convince petrolheads to buy its electric pick-up truck

Incredible footage has revealed the pure pulling power of Ford's prototype all electric F-150 pickup truck. Experts from the Michigan-based motoring firm hooked up the green machine to 10 double decker railway carriages containing 42 of the firm's F-150 2019 model pickups. The truck managed to pull a total combined weight of 1.25 million lbs over a distance of 1,000 feet. The firm previously announced it would be bringing out a hybrid version of its F-150 truck, due to be released in 2020.
