Ford began development of a "rosette" hybrid-based Focus

Ford engineers and designers were given the task to develop a "rosette" hybrids car that will entice customers away from Toyota Prius and the Chevrolet Volt. 




Information about the new project Ford today is extremely stingy. Leftlanenews reporters found out that the new product with the code name C240 is built on the platform of C2, which will form the basis successors Focus and Escape. 

Gasoline-electric hybrid thanks to the compact power batteries and extensive use of aluminum in the body structure and chassis would be easier and more economical than its major rivals, with even approximate the average fuel consumption figures are not published. 

Since the new gibridomobil created in the framework of the concept of the brand One Ford, assuming the unification of platforms, power systems and design new models, regardless of the markets, the machine will conform to European and North American safety standards. Each year, the manufacturer plans to sell in Europe, Asia and North America about 120 000 copies of new items.
