Ford is backing away from its planned all-electric three-row SUV.

The automaker said Wednesday that it will not produce the vehicle, and instead "now plans to leverage hybrid technologies for its next three-row SUVs."

The cancellation of the SUV will result in a roughly $400 million write-down of "certain product-specific manufacturing assets," according to the company.

That move came as part of a wider update to Ford’s electrification strategy that the company said will involve altering its North American vehicle roadmap and other measures.
