Hybrid Haulers: Ford Announces C-Max Hybrids for European Market

Hybrid Haulers: Ford Announces C-Max Hybrids for European Market
Ford has been producing hybrid vehicles for North America since 2004, but the company hasn't offered one in Europe. This is set to change. Ford announced today it will build both hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of its new C-Max people mover.
“Our Valencia plant here in Spain will build these new C-Max five-seat hybrid models exclusively for European customers seeking a practical, efficient, and affordable environmental vehicle, while the export to North America of the new Grand C-Max petrol model in late 2011 opens a new era of production for the team at the plant,” said John Fleming, chairman and CEO of Ford of Europe.

Ford is developing two different hybrid C-Max variants. One will function like the company's Escape Hybrid and Fusion Hybrid models, but the plug-in hybrid -- a first for Ford -- may appeal to those living in crowded urban areas.



“The extra benefit of being able to  recharge your batteries at home or other parking locations means that PHEVs might better suit those customers who do the majority of their driving in the city and other urban environments where electric battery power is the preferred powertrain alternative,” Fleming said.
