Default Ford hybrid system acroymn?

What is the proper acronym for the Ford hybrid stuff? Toyota is "HSD" (Hybrid Synergy Design) and Honda is IMA (Integrated Motor Assist). Is there a trademarked name and fancy acronym for Ford's system?

Huh?

How about FFH, for Ford Full Hybrid. Maybe they will trademark something for their Fusion Hybrid, whenever we see it that is...

maybe they should just use: Kermit (Muppet Labs Propulsion)

There is none. Ford couldn't come up with anything they liked, so they just left it as is, and call it a full hybrid.

I always use HSD, though it has nothing to do with Toyota technologically, it is the same base idea.

John, I have always liked the name you give your FEH, Diet Ford Escape. I also like Escape-Light (or Lite), but it is a bit of a stretch when describing the hybrid system.

On a side note, I have to say that I am very proud of the work that Ford has done in creating the best hybrid system in the world, and soon the best plug-in hybrid system in the world.

USA, USA, USA!!! (sorry, got carried away there)
