Ford will rely on alternative powertrains to slash emissions

摘要

Ford will reduce carbon emissions by 50% with a mix of hybrid, plug-in hybrid, electric and fuel-cell vehicles, with lightweight platforms helping it achieve its target. The OEM has already introduced a battery-electric version of its compact Focus, and has hybrid variants of the Fusion sedan for example, but the use of alternative powertrains will need to be expanded hugely in order to meet future emissions legislation.
