Ford Motor Co., being the last of the big motor companies to go green, will give 20 plug-in hybrids to Southern California Edison power company by December to help test the vehicles' commercial viability, Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally said today.
These models can be recharged at home, take less power to charge, and can run on electricity longer than an average hybrid. Ford, although short on details is making a step in the right direction. Along side their hybrids, they plan to improve fuel economy by 10 to 20 percent without compromising performance.
They are now testing 20 fuel-cell vehicles in seven cities, and are making no promises to their costumers because they say that it isn’t smart to lead people on if they aren't sure they can deliver.
