The Ford Supervan's victory comes weeks after its electric supertruck based on the F-150 Lightning had a major victory at the 102nd running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Dumas then completed the Hillclimb at 8:53.553, making it the fastest vehicle to complete the competition.
福特Supervan的勝利來自於其全新的電動超級皮卡車F-150 Lightning在第102屆皮克斯峯國際爬坡賽中的重大勝利。當時，Dumas用8分53.553秒完成了爬坡賽，成爲完成比賽最快的車輛。
Why It Matters: Ford is not just winning hillclimb competitions with its EVs but also customers. In the second quarter, Ford sold 23,957 EVs in the U.S., marking a 61.4% jump from the corresponding quarter of last year.
爲什麼會有影響：福特不僅在其電動汽車中贏得了爬坡比賽的勝利，而且在顧客中也獲得了勝利。在第二季度，福特在美國銷售了23,957輛電動汽車，較去年同期增長了61.4%。這種銷售增長的原因主要是由於其野馬Mach-E SUV的流行，該公司銷售了12,645輛。F-150閃電電動皮卡車是該公司第二暢銷的電動汽車，其次是E-transit電動貨車。
The surge in sales was mostly due to the popularity of its Mustang Mach-E SUV of which the company sold 12,645 units. The F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck was the second best-selling EV from the company, followed by its E-transit electric vans.
相比之下，福特的競爭對手通用汽車在美國的第二季度僅銷售了21,930輛電動汽車，儘管其擁有包括7種車型在內的更大的電動汽車陣容。
In comparison, Ford's rival General Motors sold only 21,930 EVs in the quarter in the U.S. despite its larger EV lineup composed of 7 models.
