Jun 6, 2024 at 1:09 PMF-Trucks Deutschland GmbH, the general importer for Ford Trucks in Germany, started its journey in the German market in 2021 with the introduction of the Ford F-MAX 500 (International Truck of the Year 2019) tractor unit. Now, the company is significantly expanding its portfolio with the new F-LINE series. Around 150 journalists, customers, and partners were invited to the Hangar Event Airport in Crailsheim to get to know the new vehicles in a festive setting.

Furthermore, representatives from Ford Trucks placed the introduction of the F-LINE within the long-term market strategy of the company.
Selim Yazici, Managing Director DACH of Ford Trucks International, outlined the structural setup of the company and its manufacturing locations and explained the sustainably designed growth strategy, which envisions a presence in nine additional countries and 500 service stations by 2026. Alex Kröper and Bernhard Kerscher, managing partners of F-Trucks Deutschland GmbH, highlighted the developments and prospects of Ford Trucks in the German market and provided a comprehensive overview of the nearly nationwide network with over 70 service and trading partners. Across Europe, the network already includes 350 contractual partners.
“We want to demonstrate the advantages that our new product line offers both in technical and economic terms through direct exchange at the event, and also emphasize that collaboration with Ford Trucks Germany is beneficial for our customers and partners in various ways,” said Bernhard Kerscher and Alex Kröper.
Modern Design, Advanced Technology, and High Safety
The new F-LINE series from Ford Trucks, which celebrated its premiere in Europe at the end of last year, focuses on a combination of modern design, advanced technology, and high safety. The product range covers the segments of road vehicles, construction vehicles, and tractor units and aims to enrich the commercial vehicle market with innovative solutions.
By combining high performance with low fuel consumption, the Ecotorq engine of the F-LINE positively impacts operating costs. Thanks to connected vehicle technologies, comprehensive safety features, high comfort, and modern design, the F-LINE ensures a smooth journey. The vehicles of the F-LINE are designed for the highest quality and comfort. Intelligent driving assistance systems such as the predictive emergency braking system for pedestrians and the intelligent adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go ensure maximum safety and proactively avoid critical situations.
Another highlight of the F-LINE is the connected vehicle technology, which integrates each vehicle into a connected fleet via the “ConnecTruck System.” All of this not only enhances the driving experience but also offers customers significant economic advantages.
Connected and Autonomous Technologies
Under the motto “Driving Green,” Ford Trucks is focusing on emission-free, connected, and autonomous technologies and aims to make the production of its heavy commercial vehicles emission-free by 2040. The introduction of the F-LINE is a significant step in this direction.
