With many new automotive laws being passed in North America, moving to eco-friendly, hybrid or electric vehicles is the future. The technology is newer, but it has come a long way very quickly. In this article, you will learn about the most common terms relating to hybrid models including the 2018 Ford C-Max.

First, you should understand what a hybrid degree is. This is a term that describes the level of hybrid technology that is used for any particular vehicle. As of now, the options are mild, full, power-assist, and plug-in.

Next, a hybrid engine is the most important part. It is a powertrain that uses a gasoline engine paired with an electric motor. Meanwhile, the hybrid drivetrain layout will be combined, series, or parallel. Keep in mind that the performance output is still measured in horsepower and torque.

Another term you should be familiar with is the hybrid power source. This refers to what moves the vehicle such as gas/electricity, plug-in, pneumatic, or even fuel cell. The last two options are the rarest.

The 2019 Ford C-Max Hybrid is equipped with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder traditional engine and a lithium-ion battery-powered electric motor. Partnered with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), it delivers 188 hp.
