FORD TOURNEO CUSTOM

摘要

It seems our van prefers to let others do the climbing. I KNEW THAT our Ford Tourneo Custom plug-in hybrid had some kind of artificial sound generator that kicked in while it was reversing, as it's mandatory for all electrified vehicles to have one in order to warn pedestrians. I've only ever heard it from inside the cabin, though, and even then it's not especially prominent. On a recent job, a few of my colleagues heard it first-hand and thought it was playing some kind of tune; the pitch seemingly changes based on speed and can be surprisingly melodic, although probably not enough to convince any nearby children that an icecream van is about to pull up.
