The days when your only options for Transit Vehicles were only petrol or diesel engine are gone forever. Now, with Mild Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid, you are spoilt for choice. Understanding all of that new technology can be daunting - with information available from many different sources. Here at Haynes Transit Centre, we have tried to answer the question you may have all in this one place.

What is Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV)?

Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHEV) have all the functionality of full Hybrid technology, with the added advantage that they can be charged from an external electricity supply, with the ability to switch to Hybrid mode to conserve battery life and to petrol or diesel-only for longer journeys.

Available Models Include:

• All-New Ford Kuga
• Ford Transit Custom
• Ford Tourneo Custom

What is Mild Hybrid (MHEV)?

A small electric motor that helps improve efficiency. Mild hybrid vehicles have two sources of power that work together - a conventional engine and a battery-electric motor. The electric motor does not power the car, it only assists it.

Available Models Include:

• All-New Ford Kuga
