Ford started producing Mondeo with powered by hybrid petrol-electric engine in their factory in Valencia. it is the first hybrid Ford that will be produced in one of the European factories of this American producer.

Even if Ford produced 400.000 vehicles and they are on top of the list of greatest hybrid vehicles producers in the world(right behind Toyota), but, so far, Ford didn't produce any of the models in Europe. 

Mondeo Hybrid has a power system that consists of 2.0 liter petrol, two electro-motors and lithium-ion batteries. Combined engine power gets to 190hp (140kW). 

Ford claims that the batteries will last 10 years of 240.000 kilometers.

Earlier, this producer has announced that the car will spend 4.3l/100km with emission of CO2 that won't get higher than 99g/km.

When it uses only electricity for powering, this car will be able to pass 32km, and in hybrid mode, from 0 to 100km/h, it will need 8.5s. 

Hybrid Mondeo will be presented on European market by the end of 2014. The price will be in rank with diesel version, because Ford wants to offer this car as a low priced alternative to buyers of Mondeo with Diesel engines.
