RE: Thắc mắc về tên xe Captiva!
Escapee mới là kẻ đào tẩu các bác ạ, escape theo kỹ thuật nó liên quan đến vấn đề thoát khí và hơi, em thấy cái này chắc sẽ giải thích theo nghĩa đó các bác tham khảo:
The Ford Escape Hybrid, launched in 2004, is a gas-electric hybrid powered version of the Ford Escape crossover SUV developed by the Ford Motor Company. Built in Kansas City, Missouri, it is the first hybrid SUV to hit the market. A similar vehicle, the Mercury Mariner Hybrid is sold by Ford's Mercury marque, and a third variation, the Mazda Tribute Hybrid, is now sold by Mazda since 2006. While regular Escapes feature a black bottom finish, hybrids feature a silver bottom finish (see picture). However, with colors such as blue, you can still get a black-bottomed hybrid, but this is an option.
As of 2006, the Escape hybrid system is among the most advanced available on the market. It is a "full" hybrid electric system, meaning the system can switch automatically between pure electric power, pure gasoline engine power, or a combination of electric battery and gasoline engine operating together, for maximum performance and efficiency at all speeds and loads. When braking or decelerating, the Escape's hybrid system uses regenerative braking, where the electric drive motor becomes a generator, converting the vehicle's momentum back to electricity for storage in the batteries. With 155 horsepower, the Hybrid Escape has nearly the same acceleration performance as the conventional 200 hp V6 Escape.
Ford built 17,000 Escape Hybrids in the second half of 2004, four times as many as the company had originally planned to build. Consumer demand has been strong, as it was with the Toyota Prius. Ford plans to produce 4,000 Mariner Hybrids and 20,000 Escape Hybrids for 2006. A number of Mazda Tribute Hybrids will also be produced.
The Hybrid Escape will also be the first to market with alternative flexible fuel capability—running on E85 (85% ethanol / 15% gasoline).
