No-Compromise Hybrid
|
 |
| Escape Hybrid has it all. It's the first vehicle to combine SUV capability with the outstanding fuel economy and low environmental impact of a full hybrid. The no compromise Escape Hybrid drives normally, performs superbly and offers all the features you'd expect from an SUV leader. Roomy, comfortable seating for five, a versatile cargo area, and an optional Intelligent 4WD System which offers the same all-weather traction and off-road capability available in traditional Escape models. |
Nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) battery
|
| Escape Hybrid's innovative nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) battery is completely sealed and securely encased. It's stored neatly at the flat load floor of the spacious cargo area. What's more, the regenerative braking system recharges the NiMH battery each time you brake, so there is never any need to plug it in. |
Regenerative braking
|
|
In a conventional vehicle when you brake, the energy is lost as heat. During braking in the Escape Hybrid, the electric motor captures this energy that is normally lost and sends it back to the battery pack to be stored for later use. Whenever you apply the brakes, you are, in effect, recharging the battery pack. Engineers call this regenerative braking and it represents a major part of the Escape Hybrid's fuel efficiency advantage over conventional vehicles.
