DETROIT (AP) — Ford is recalling more than 550,000 pickup trucks in the U.S. because the transmissions can unexpectedly downshift to first gear no matter how fast the trucks are going. The recall covers certain F-150 pickups from the 2014 model year. Ford’s F-Series pickups are the top-selling vehicles in the U.S.  Ford says in documents posted Tuesday by U.S. safety regulators that the downshifting can cause drivers to lose control of the trucks, increasing the risk of a crash. The recalls come after U.S. auto safety regulators in March began investigating complaints that more than 540,000 Ford pickup trucks from 2014 can abruptly downshift to a lower gear and increase the risk of a crash.

Much of the discussion about electric vehicles (EVs) centers on cars like the Tesla Model Y because the proportion of trucks in the overall scheme of things is far smaller. However, trucks are larger, heavier, and emit more direct pollution than passenger cars when compared side by side. It could be because the average person isn't going to go out and buy a semi-truck, but the issue of what to do with the world's transport fleet in terms of the climate is an important one. While governments (and automakers) are keen for everyone to swap out their ICE-engined cars for EV versions, trucks are not such an easy fix. There are some good reasons why ICE is likely to stick around in trucks and other heavy vehicles for a long while yet. Here are some of them.
