Ford Sedan Hybrid August 2004

Ford had planned to call the model Futura, but a federal court has ruled that the Pep Boys auto parts retail chain owns the rights to that name. The 2006 Ford sedan hybrid will be available with an optional hybrid gas-electric powertrain now being developed for the Escape Hybrid. The sedan hybrid, like the Escape Hybrid, mates a 2.3-litre I-4 gasoline engine with a 65-kilowatt electric motor. As a full hybrid, it will have the capability to run on full-battery power, the gas engine alone or gas and battery together. Full hybrids dramatically improve fuel economy and reduce emissions in city driving - particularly in "stop and go" traffic by shutting down the gasoline engine and running on battery power alone.
