New Ford Explorer Hybrid

The 2020 Ford Explorer Hybrid, going on sale later this summer, is the first Ford product line to  feature a new modular hybrid system built around a 10-speed automatic transmission—essentially adding a motor unit to the input end of the transmission, plus a disconnect clutch at its hub that allows combinations of engine and motor for acceleration or regenerative braking.

It will be followed later this fall by the first plug-in hybrid application (for the U.S.), in the Lincoln Aviator Plug-In Hybrid.
