At a packed investor day in Dearborn, Michigan, last year, Ford Motor F.N executives lauded their forthcoming three-row electric SUV, which they said would be rolling off assembly lines in 2025.

Removing a significant vehicle from Ford's EV future, one that executives had promised would differentiate the company in a crowded field, also means leaders will have to refresh their pitch to investors about how they will turn around the automaker's slumping stock. On Wednesday, Ford also said it planned to push back another much-anticipated vehicle, the new electric version of its F-150 truck, until 2027, two years after it was initially intended to launch. It said it will add an electric van to its future lineup as it doubles down on its strengths: pickup trucks and commercial vehicles.Some industry observers wondered why it took the automaker so long to switch gears.

The US$1.9 billion hit on the cancellation of the three-row SUV will sting, but many analysts said Ford ultimately made the right call.
