Ready For Takeoff: Ford Hybrid Launch Control System
It’s no secret that people love hybrids. They take away a fraction of the cost of gas, providing a daily commute that you can feel good about. Imagine if you combined the fuel-efficiency of a hybrid engine with the 0-60 capabilities of a Ford Mustang? That just might be possible, according to a patent recently filed by Ford Motor Company. Ford outlines a hybrid launch control system featuring a dual-clutch transmission and rear-wheel drive. As your Aberdeen, MD, Ford destination, Preston Ford of Aberdeen is pleased to share everything we know about the patent and the hybrid launch control system.
Here’s the Scoop
Ford Motor Company filed the Hybrid Vehicle Launching Methods and System patent on April 22nd, 2019. It was published on May 24th, 2022. The patent describes a hybrid launch control system that will receive power from both the gas and electric motors. According to the patent claims, the hybrid launch control system will allow the electric motor to propel the vehicle while the gas engine is decoupled, increasing the torque transfer capacity of the clutch while accelerating the engine. In short, the engine, though a hybrid, will allow vehicles to launch at impressive speeds. Ford Authority noted that the patent seems to suggest that Ford has been experimenting with a hybrid Mustang. With this system, a hybrid Mustang has the potential for greatness. We are expecting a high-powered, fuel efficient force of nature with mind blowing launching capabilities to make its way into the Blue Oval lineup in the near future. Feel free to take a look at the patent for yourself and let us know what you think!
