Ford's new Fmur150 Lightning pure electric pickup truck will increase in price, starting at about 317100 yuan.

CTOnews.com, Aug. 10 (Xinhua)-- less than five months after the first shipment to dealers, the price of Ford's new electric truck, Fmuri 150 Lightning, will rise, the Wall Street Journal reported.

On Tuesday, local time, Ford plans to reopen orders for the new Fmur150 Lightning pickup this week, but will increase the price of various configurations by 7% and 18%.

According to reports, the reason for Ford's price adjustment is the rising cost of materials and other factors. In addition, Ford said the new price only applies to new orders, not orders that are currently waiting to be delivered.

Currently, the Fmur150 Lightning starts at $46974 (about 317100 yuan), about $7000 (about 47250 yuan) higher than the starting price initially advertised by Ford executives for less than $40, 000 (about 270000 yuan).
