The Ford Focus FCV Hybrid is a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle from the Ford Motor Company, built on the American version of the first-generation Ford Focus. It combines a fuel cell from Ballard Power Systems, the same cell used in the Mercedes-Benz F-Cell, with a nickel metal hydride battery that recovers braking energy and covers power peaks. The electric motor produces 68 kilowatts, and a 178 litre hydrogen tank at 350 bar gives a range of 320 kilometres. Several cars were leased to trial regions, among them three used in Berlin by Hermes and the BVG under the Clean Energy Partnership, the Vancouver Fuel Cell Vehicle Program and the California Fuel Cell Partnership. Ford announced on 24 June 2009 that it would stop work on fuel cells and concentrate on batteries and electric motors.
