December 14, 2022: -On Tuesday, the electric Ford F-150 Lightning was known as MotorTrend’s 2023 truck of the year, which tops traditional pickups with combustion engines from General Motors, Stellantis and Toyota Motor.
The prestigious name and accompanying “Golden Caliper” award is highly sought by automakers globally every year. They are used for advertising vehicles and are viewed as third-party validation of a new car.
The F-150 Lightning is pivotal for Ford Motor and the U.S. automotive business. It’s the initial mass-market electric pickup truck for mainstream buyers and is widely witnessed as a test of widespread EV adoption. The F-Series, including the electric and traditional versions of the car, has also been the best-selling car in the U.S. for decades.
MotorTrend noted Lightning’s overall performance, safety and importance in appealing to traditional pickup consumers among the reasons for the recognition.
“While some cars change the world by being radically not same, others, such as the Ford F-150 Lightning, transfer it by being different where it counts and similar where it helps,” MotorTrend stated in a press release.
This is the next-consecutive year an all-electric truck has come over the award, after the Rivian R1T a year ago. But it’s the first electric vehicle to get unanimous support from the judges, MotorTrend said.
Other finalists for MotorTrend’s truck were the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2023 Ram 2500 and 2022 Toyota Tundra, 2022 GMC Sierra 1500.
MotorTrend’s truck of the year after the publication named the Genesis G90 its 2023 car this year, and the electric Hyundai Ioniq 5 was its 2023 SUV.

In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
Food Huggers, a consumer brand that designs products to reduce waste at home, may be in an enviable position now but before they found Extensiv Order Manager, managing booming orders and staying on top of inventory was a huge operational challenge. The business has inventory spread across multiple geographically distributed warehouses, with orders received via multiple sales channels, including Shopify storefronts and Amazon.
