In a recent announcement, Ford revealed plans to shift the production of its heavy-duty Super Duty pickup trucks to the Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario, Canada. This decision marks a departure from the previously planned production of a three-row electric vehicle at the same facility.
As part of this transition, Ford introduced the concept of “multi-energy technology” for its future Super Duty trucks. While the specifics remain vague, the company emphasized that this move supports Ford’s broader electrification strategy. However, the term “multi-energy technology” could encompass various powertrain options, including full electric, hybrid, or even traditional gasoline and diesel engines.

Although Ford has not officially confirmed an electric version of the Super Duty, the mention of “multi-energy technology” suggests potential hybridization or electrification. This aligns with the industry’s growing interest in integrating electric power for enhanced efficiency and performance. For instance, hybrid technology could significantly boost the torque and pulling power of Super Duty trucks, benefiting industries that rely on these vehicles for heavy-duty tasks.
Interestingly, this announcement coincided with the release of spy photos showing an unknown but clearly electrified Ford pickup truck. While it’s unclear if these developments are related, it adds to the anticipation surrounding Ford’s future plans for its Super Duty lineup.
Production of the Super Duty trucks at the Oakville Assembly Complex is slated to begin in 2026. This move highlights Ford’s commitment to offering a range of powertrain options and reinforces its position in the evolving automotive landscape.
