The Ford F-150 Lightning is invading Norway
Sales of the electric pickup begin next year
The Ford F-150 Lightning will soon be driving under the northern lights of Europe.
Ford has announced that it will begin exporting the all-electric pickup to Norway starting next year.
The country of 5.4 million sells the most electric vehicles per capita in the world, and Ford says demand for the truck has been strong.
"I've had customers literally banging on my door and pleading with us to bring the electric pickup to Norway," Per Gunnar Berg, Ford Norway managing director, said.
