September 30, 201015 yr Paris Motor Show: Ford Confirms C-Max Hybrid And Plug-In Minivans By John Voelcker Senior Editor September 30th, 2010 Source: GreenCarReports.com Since launching the Ford Escape Hybrid in 2004, Ford has confined sales of its hybrid-electric vehicles to North America. But that's about to change. In European markets, where up to 50 percent of new cars are fitted with high-efficiency diesel engines, Ford has focused its efforts over the last decade on cars like the ultra-high-mileage Ford Fiesta ECOnetic, sold with a 1.6-liter turbodiesel that returns 63 miles per gallon on the European cycle. Today is media day at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, and last night Ford announced that it would not only sell its 2012 Ford C-Max "people carrier" (or small minivan) with its hybrid system, it would also offer a plug-in hybrid version as well. link: http://www.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1049916_paris-motor-show-ford-confirms-c-max-hybrid-and-plug-in-minivans
