In recent years, Ford has explored multiple ways to increase storage space for future models through multiple patent applications, including ideas such as cargo area tool carrier systems and modular storage systems.
The newly released patent is a continuation of this trend and demonstrates the idea of an in-floor storage system.
, Unlike many patent applications, the concept of the new patent is relatively simple and revolves around a cargo storage system (located in the rear cargo area of a vehicle such as an SUV).
In recent years, some pure electric vehicles have also begun to be equipped with such systems, but “hidden” storage areas are usually configurable and not standard.
Users can move the system as needed to accommodate different types of goods.
