Escape, Edge, TC to be KilledYou're probably correct in that it's unlikely to happen, though I find it disappointing. The main reason for using Hybrid technology is to reduce fuel consumption and thus reduce CO2 emissions, plus save on fuel costs. Effective (efficient) hybrids often rely on Atkinson engines, efficient transmissions, and more powerful electric motors, and all these would require additional investment for RWD vehicles. IMO Ford would need a larger-displacement Atkinson engine and a new RWD transmission with over 100 kW of electric motor assist for heavier RWD vehicles. That would require significant investment, which would first require a longer-term commitment to ICE powertrains. As you implied, not likely in today's BEV environment.Tue, 05 Sep 2023 15:00:30 +0000
