Ford Drives Mustang Mach E Coast to Coast

Ford Motor Co. in Dearborn reports strong demand for the Mustang Mach-E, and 70 percent of customers who ordered the vehicle are new to Ford. To help drive sales, Ford is now taking the Mustang Mach-E across America to demonstrate the capability and technology of the all-electric SUV. The Ocean to Ocean Reimagined campaign showcases what the all-electric Mustang Mach-E can do with product experiences along the way to demonstrate its style and features. In total, the all-electric SUV will drive nearly 6,500 miles across 20 states in a span of 50 days.

On June 1, 1909, Henry Ford entered two factory Model T cars in the first U.S.-based transcontinental road race. Beginning in New York City, the race tested the endurance and capability of a relatively new technology — the automobile. Twenty-three days and 4,106 miles later, Ford Model T No. 2 crossed the finish line at the Seattle World’s Fair. A re-creation of that winning Model T will lead the two Mustang Mach-E SUVs out of New York and escort them to the finish line in Seattle. A Ford spokesman said, “Ocean to Ocean Reimagined is helping to amplify awareness around Mustang Mach-E and what it can do. We hope this coast-to-coast journey — much like the original Ocean to Ocean race commissioned by Henry Ford in 1909 — becomes a truly unique, exhilarating, and entertaining chapter in the Ford and Mustang story.”
