Automotive Engineering - August 2021 - 14

ROAD READY
according to Abdul Hajiabdi, the E-drive
system and applications supervisor.
" We were able to push the limits on
this hardware, taking cost and material
out while retaining capability, " explained
Hajiabdi, a 21-year Ford engineering
veteran. " We don't have to rely
on our suppliers' know-how " for the
94-kW, 173-lb-ft (235-Nm) permanentmagnet
induction machine. " This [the
Maverick motor development] is paving
the way for all applicable platforms going
forward, " he said.
The motor team achieved a 20%
NORTH AMERICA'S LARGEST METAL FORMING,
FABRICATING, WELDING AND FINISHING EVENT
weight reduction by using a (flat-wire)
hairpin winding topology, which
Hajiabdi called best-in-class. Torque
output of up to 2,300 Nm (at the
wheels) helps deliver Maverick's target
performance and 1,500-lb (680-kg)
payload as well as meeting Ford's max
trailer-towing bogies - up to 2,000 lb
(907 kg). With the non-hybrid Ecoboost
powertrain and equipped with the optional
4K Tow Package, Maverick is capable
of pulling up to 4,000 lb (1,814
kg), according to Manny Barberena,
hybrid powertrain supervisor.

Flexbed fun, carlike cabin
Maverick's bed provides 33 cu. ft. of cargo
volume with a high degree of flexibility.
While it's clearly not sized to haul
4x8-ft plywood sheets with the tailgate
up, the box is unique. It's a clever Ford
design called " Flexbed " in which the bed
inners are shaped to accept sections of
2x4- and 2x6-in lumber vertically and
horizontally-the type of modifications
that pickup owners typically make themselves
to create custom shelves, partitions
and racks to secure their stuff.
Maverick's overall interior design appears
to be more influenced by the passenger-car
rather than truck side of
Ford's interior studio. But the vehicle's
functional-flexibility theme is evident
throughout. The door armrests are a
split design to enable 1-liter water bottles
to stand vertically in a molded door
bin. The rear seats hinge to reveal a decently
roomy and deep storage bin that
can fit various gear (including fully inflated
volleyballs, claims Ford).
