Ford's four new Hybrids

The Ford Motor Company has announced that they will release four new Hybrids nationwide all within the next three years. By doing so Ford has become the only automaker with serious developement on four fuel technologies, gasoline-electric hybrids, clean diesels, hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines and fuel cells. The new vehicles being released are the Mercury Mariner Hybrid, which releases later this year, the Ford Fusion Hybrid, coming in 2008, the mercury Milan Hybrid, also in 2008 and a test fleet of Mazda buses in production in two years. All of these vehicles run on alternative fuels and have recieved much praise from environmental agencies.
This press release came from the Headquarters of the Ford Motor Company. The release was sent out by the Ford Motor Company to notify all car owners, or people interested in owning a car about their new lineup of Hybrid vehicles. I'm sure that when the cars actually hit the the market, there will be much larger press releases distributed to more sources, but for now they have this information on their website. It makes sense that they would only release this information on their own website this early in development, becuase they also have many commercials that will come out later with the arrival of the vehicles. The press release establishes credibility and shows that the Ford Motor Company is environmentally conscious, and looking for new more practical sources of viable energy. Above all the press release did a great job of releasing new information from the Ford Motor Company.
