Ford Vehicle

Ford’s Escape Hybrid, the world’s first commercially produced hybrid SUV, was launched in 2004, and is still the cleanest and most fuel-efficient hybrid SUV. As a full hybrid vehicle, the Escape Hybrid automatically switches between pure electric power, pure gasoline engine power or a combined operation to maximize efficiency and performance. It delivers superior fuel efficiency and emission reductions.

The Escape hybrid provides approximately 80 percent better fuel economy in city driving than the conventional V-6 Escape. It is also extremely clean to operate, 99 percent cleaner on average than an unregulated vehicle. The vehicle can be 100% electrically powered when driven at under 48 km/hour, and can be recharged by capturing braking energy, which maximizes fuel economy making it particularly suitable for traffic-heavy cities where vehicles need to start and stop frequently.
