New Ford Mondeo Hybrid has two sources of power: a conventional fuel engine and a battery-driven, electric motor. The system automatically switches between the powertrains, or uses a combination of both, to deliver a perfect blend of power and efficiency. And to make the whole system even more efficient, regenerative braking captures up to 90% of the energy normally lost through friction brakes, then recycles it to recharge the high-voltage battery.
Safety wise some technologies including Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, can proactively help avoid incidents. Whilst other systems, such as Rear Inflatable Seatbelts, help to protect people in the event of an accident.

ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF HYBRID ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY
As befits a car that pioneers technology, the Mondeo is available as a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). By combining the benefits of both electric and petrol power, the Mondeo Hybrid enables you to enjoy outstanding efficiency and refinement along with rewarding performance and driving range. Regenerative braking, an innovative SmartGauge with ‘Brake Coach’, plus other sophisticated systems, help further maximise this car’s power and efficiency.
DRIVE SMARTER
The Ford SmartGauge with EcoGuide uses intelligent design and an intuitive interface to help you drive more efficiently. A high-resolution LCD screen on the dashboard displays real time driving information, including fuel and battery power levels. And an on-screen animation shows you when you’re driving most efficiently to help you maximise your savings.
CHARGE ON THE MOVE
Smart engineering in the new Mondeo Hybrid means there’s no need to charge your car at the mains. Regenerative braking recaptures energy usually wasted when you apply the brakes, then uses it to charge the battery. Secondly, the petrol engine powers a generator that sends energy back to battery. This enables your Mondeo to switch to electric power when you need to maximise efficiency.
DESIGNED THE REDUCE EMISSIONS TO SAVE FUEL AND MONEY
Intelligent design, smart technology and precision engineering maximise the benefits of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). Hybrid technology knows when it’s best to switch from petrol to electric power. The result is smooth, responsive performance, an exhilarating driving experience and combined fuel consumption of only 54.3mpg.
