That’s what Sue Cischke, vice president of environmental and safety engineering at Ford Motor Company, said
at the recent Automotive News World Congress.

After praising the automaker’s efforts in gender
equality in management, she continued, pointing out that the gasoline-powered engine will continue to be the main
powertrain for at least half a century.

She then proceeded to discuss alternative technologies, such as
hybrid engines, diesels, and fuel cells,  and how all automakers are at the least reviewing such powertrains for
their vehicles.

“Everybody is playing in the game,” she said. “Everybody’s trying to figure
it out. … It’s going to be a series of different technologies.”
