Ford engineers torture test Mustang Mach-E to help give customers the confidence to take the leap to electric
From extreme car washes to gravel roads, the Ford team used a number of methods to put Mustang Mach-E through tests designed to stress it beyond typical consumer use
The tests Mustang Mach-E endured and passed, both inside and outside, are similar to those Ford uses on its hardest-working range of tough pick-up trucks
Ford has been putting its 118-years-worth of vehicle torture testing know-how to use as it aims to demonstrate how durable electric vehicles can be. From extreme car washes and power sprayers to robotic butts and sharp gravel roads, a team of Ford engineers put Mustang Mach-E through torture tests designed to stress it beyond typical consumer use.

Ford tested for just about anything customers might subject their seats to – especially their derrieres. Ford engineers studied varying weight loads on the seats using a wide range of human body types. The team does this by programming a robotic “butt” form , or “robutt”, to simulate a person getting in and out of their Mustang Mach-E – at least 25,000 times.

They also extensively tested the vehicle’s ActiveX seating material to withstand daily use and abuse. This included chemical testing to help ensure products like hand sanitizer do not deteriorate the material, abrasion testing to ensure the finish stays put after simulating a 10-year use cycle, and flexing the seating material 100,000 times to assess its resistance to cracking.

A cracked phone screen is never fun, but a cracked touchscreen – especially one with as much functionality as the screen in the Mustang Mach-E — is unacceptable. The 15.5-inch touch screen in the 2021 Mustang Mach-E uses a special application of Dragontrail™ glass to ensure its durability. It sits on top of a high-strength magnesium mounting that is able to withstand being pulled or bumped.

“The screen in the Mustang Mach-E is so crucial to the driving experience. It’s the centrepiece of the interior and people’s eyes just naturally go right to it,” said Dickson. “We knew we had to go above and beyond to make sure it is durable enough to withstand daily customer interactions — think purses and bags hitting it, pets bumping into it, children playing with it and so on. You need that deep customer understanding to identify the potential issues and work to prevent them.”

Mustang Mach-E customers should be confident that they can drive their vehicle where the pavement ends and gravel roads begin, and not come back with a new “speckled” paint job. To do this, Ford engineers subjected Mustang Mach-E to 300 miles of stone-chip testing on gravel roads to evaluate damage caused to body paint by small rocks and cinder. Ford used two different grades of gravel stones to test as professional drivers fishtailed Mustang Mach-E over a miles-long stretch of scattered gravel on pavement at 60 mph nearly 200 times. Once the first test was completed, the team then swapped the gravel for an even sharper grade of stone and repeated the test all over again.
