SACRAMENTO, California-Ford Motor Company is handing over the keys to three hybrid hydrogen Ford Focus Fuel Cell vehicles today as part of a seven-city 30-car program to conduct real world testing of fuel cell technology. The Ford Focus FCV uses a fuel cell powertrain supplied by Ballard Power Systems, the world leader in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology. The FCV is hybridized with the addition of a nickel metalhydride battery pack and a brake-by-wire electro-hydraulic series regenerative braking system. The fuel cell engine converts chemical energy into electric energy using hydrogen fuel and oxygen from air.

The Ford Focus Flex Fuel Vehicle (FFV) can run on either bioethanol (E85) or unleaded petrol in any mix in the same fuel tank. Bioethanol is a renewable transport fuel made from ingredients such as wheat or sugar beet. Initial orders for the Ford Focus FFV car came from the country's first regional biofuel project, which brought Ford as vehicle supplier together with a bioethanol retailer and local fleets. Somerset Biofuel Project partners will take delivery of their first 40 Ford Focus FFVs from March next year, when bioethanol will be available from five refueling points in the county.

Clean Cities: First Hybrid SUV Makes List of Top Twelve Green Vehicles
The world's first hybrid-electric sport utility vehicle (SUV), the Ford Escape Hybrid, is also the first gasoline-powered SUV to make the list of 12 "greenest" vehicles. The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) issued its eighth annual environmental guide to cars and trucks, "ACEEE's Green Book Online," last week, including its list of the greenest vehicles of 2005. The Honda Insight, Toyota Prius, and Honda Civic Hybrid again hold top spots on the list, although the number one green vehicle is still the natural-gas-powered Honda Civic GX. But your car doesn't have to be a hybrid or alternative-fuel model to make the list: other top green cars include the Toyota Corolla and Echo; the Toyota Matrix and its twin, the Pontiac Vibe; the Nissan Sentra; the Mazda 3; and the Ford Focus and Ford Focus Wagon. ACEEE ranks vehicles based on their levels of noxious emissions, fuel economy, and greenhouse gas emissions.
