Ford Hybrid

„Currently, since so many hybrid parts cost a lot of money to replace or fix many car manufacturers that currently market hybrid vehicles already offer extended warranties with the vehicles. For example, many Ford hybrid buyers have the option of selecting warranties that last for upwards of ten years, sometimes longer than most people even own one car. This allows the owner to find help, if needed, should something go wrong with their hybrid vehicle ...“

New FORD Reviews - Car and Driver (#)

„It should be noted, however, that the hybrid package costs about $3000 and this model suffers somewhat in performance, registering rather listless times of 10.8 seconds from zero to 60 and 18.2 seconds for the quarter-mile. Non-hybrid base Escapes are powered by Ford’s Duratec 23 engine, a 2.3-liter four-cylinder that develops 153 horsepower and 152 pound-feet of torque. It’s available with either an optional automatic transmission or a standard five-speed manual ...“

Ford and Cleveland Cops go on Hybrid Patrol - Autoblog (#)

„Crown Vics are now officially dinosaurs - I had no idea that my Prius was nearly as fast as a police interceptor, and faster from 0-30. If Ford wants to keep some cop car business, they need to get busy and hybrid-ize their new C/D-class car, whatever it's called (Fusion?) - though it's built in Mexico, so no advantage on Prius there, or Civic Hybrid, either. Crown Vics are built in Canada, aren't they? I know Chevy Impalas are from Canada, not the US.“

Ford Announces Hydrogen-Electric Plug-in Hybrid Drive and Airstream Concept (#)

„You have to like the sound of any plug-in hybrid from US Ford, but a bit of congruence would really help their case, as well as the bottom line. People ask where's the hydrogen coming from - well for a start its a perfect storage by-product and energy carrier for wind power [electrolysis of water], the fastest growing energy source in the world. So when is some sinking car company going to get it that mass-manufacture of wind turbines is also their opportunity?“

Ford Airstream Concept: It's Hybrid War! - Popular Mechanics (#)

„In the mean time, let us tell you a little about Ford’s hybrid concept: The Airstream isn’t a gas-electric hybrid like you might expect. Instead it uses a small hydrogen fuel cell that functions as the on-board charging system for the lithium-ion battery pack combined with plug-in capability. Ford says the drivetrain delivers an equivalent fuel economy rating of 41 mpg.“

2007 Ford Airstream Concept - Latest News, Features, and Auto Show Coverage - Automobile Magazine (#)

„Influenced by both obvious--Airstream trailers--and not-so-obvious sources--Stanley Kubrick's masterful film, 2001: A Space Odyssey--the Ford Airstream concept gets its power from a plug-in hydrogen fuel-cell hybrid setup. The system runs on electricity 100 percent of the time and, unlike most of today's fuel cells, is able to operate in the frigid temperatures of the frostiest winters.“

Volvo plans hybrid C30 (#)

„I have heard that Ford's current Hybrid technology came from Toyota's 1st generation Synergy system. If the C30 can go for 45 miles on battery alone, that is several steps ahead of that system - and even GM's oversided alternators!“
