STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. (AP) ? Ford is making a minivan that will become its first U.S. vehicle sold only as a hybrid.
Ford sells hybrid versions of some gas?powered cars, but it's got nothing like the Toyota Prius, which is only sold as a hybrid.
Ford's minivan is based on a five?passenger van, the C?Max, which is already sold in Europe but runs on gasoline.
Ford had planned to introduce a seven?passenger, gas?powered C?Max in the U.S. next year. But it's scrapping that so it can build more hybrid?only C?Maxes. The van goes on sale next year.
The minivan will get more than 41 miles per gallon. A plug?in version will also be sold. It will be similar to the Chevrolet Volt, which can drive in all?electric mode but has a backup gas engine.
