Exactly-the Ford system is more about performance gains vs big MPG increases

 

Well that would be unfortunate.  Ford needs some "green creds"  The primary goal should be MPG increase while Also having more power - some people want to have their cake and eat it too.  The Volvo XC90 T8 is their PHEV version and it has more power and better MPG - 20% with a 62MPGe.  That should have been the target to beat by Ford - that is what the Aviator is going to be compared to.

No their end result is being able to use a hybrid system over multiple platforms. The A10 with this system is going to be used in the Bronco, F-150, Ranger all down the road and make money off it. It will improve MPGs but not as much as a regular hybrid, but it also won't be limited like other makes either. Toyota says not use the highlander off road-the Explorer Hybrid can still do that.
