WHAT IS A MILD HYBRID?

A mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) uses a battery-powered electric motor in support of a conventional petrol or diesel engine to improve efficiency and reduce emissions. Mild hybrids use regenerative braking to charge the battery while driving. They don't charge from an external power source and are not capable of electric-only driving.

WHY CHOOSE A MILD HYBRID?

IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY

• Electric motor assist reduces demand on the engine helping to improve fuel economy.

NO CHARGE POINTS

• No need for charging points, regenerative braking charges the battery as you drive.

FAMILIAR EXPERIENCE

• Like driving a conventional vehicle, but with a more responsive ride and improved efficiency.

FUEL EFFICENCY

• Mild Hybrid powertrains can be a cost-effective way to join the electric revolution.
• Ford will be offering both Petrol and Diesel Mild Hybrid powertrains.
• Using the latest Euro 6 diesel technology, EcoBlue Hybrid will be offered on All-New Kuga, Transit Custom and Transit.

MILD HYBRID EFFICIENCY

• The internal combustion engine is assisted by an electric motor. At low speed, or when stationary, the engine can switch itself off and the 48V starter-generator seamlessly restarts when needed.
• The separate 48V Li-ion battery is automatically recharged by regenerative braking during coasting and braking. There is no requirement to connect the battery to a power source.
