Ford 25 percent hybrid and EV by 2020

Beginning in 2012, Ford plans a serious increase in the production of hybrid cars and plug-ins, leading to 25 percent of overall output by 2020.Just the beginning

By 2020 Ford believes that 10 – 25 percent of its global fleet will be hybrid and plug-ins, with hybrid cars making up the majority of sales. To highlight this new potential, Ford will use the Geneva Motor show to roll out two new hybrids, a plug-in hybrid and two EVs, reports the DetroitNews.

Unfortunately, neither of these new hybrid vehicles will hit the market until 2012, which seems to hint that Ford will use lithium-ion batteries in these new hybrids – something Ford has alluded to in the past.

Regardless, pretty aggressive numbers based on Ford’s hybrid history, and that’s definitely good news.
