hello everyone this is Chris if
watchmojo calm now today I’m joined with
Christine Hollander who is a
representative for Ford and she’s going
to show us some of the technologies and
things we can look forward to from the
company this year right behind you is
the Ford Escape Hybrid which was the
first world hybrid in an SUV basically
every time you break the power that’s
left from the brake system is generated
it’s called generative breaking and that
is stored in a battery as electricity
and your vehicle then moves forward it’s
beneficial in the city because there’s a
lot of stop-and-go and if you press the
pedal you know you could go up to i
would say 42 kilometers an hour before
the gas engine kicks in however on the
highway because your gas engine is also
helped by your electric engine both of
them work together therefore you still
get some efficiencies on the highway our
new engine technology is called EcoBoost
it performs like a v8 engine but has
fuel economy of a v6 engine it also
reduces co2 emissions by fifteen percent
it’s an engine that will be launching
next year with our Lincoln MKS and
further on will be transferring this
technology to all our lineup from small
cars all the way to our pickups there’s
a two-tiered solution for those of us
who are concerned about fuel efficiency
and then the environments you have
hybrid is one this is a separate option
it’s not something used in conjunction
with hybrid correct this is our
short-term option if you want this is
the immediate midterm we announce that
we’re reducing the weight of our
vehicles and we’re also going to offer
more diesel engines in the future and I
mean long-term we’re already have a
fleet of focuses out in Vancouver which
work on hydrogen and we’re testing that
we’re testing fuel cells those are
technologies that right now are in the
testing stages because there’s no
infrastructure you can’t go to the gas
station
hydrogen often of a technology no matter
how beneficial it is if it causes us to
have to totally redo our daily habits
people are going to be resistant to it
don’t have to adapt your lifestyle to
the vehicle I mean we did it for you
