2. Ford Escape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Escape

   Like the Ford Escape Hybrid, the Mariner Hybrid is a "full" hybrid electric system, meaning the system can switch automatically between pure electric power, pure gasoline engine power, or a combination of electric battery and gasoline engine operating together, for maximum performance and efficiency at all speeds and loads.

3. Power steering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_steering

   Power steering is a system for reducing a driver's effort to turn a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, by using a power source to assist steering. [1]Hydraulic or electric actuators add controlled energy to the steering mechanism, so the driver can provide less effort to turn the steered wheels when driving at typical speeds, and considerably reduce the physical effort necessary to turn the ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Duratec_V6_engine

   The engine is rebuilt and tuned to a max power of 425 bhp (317 kW) at 6500 rpm, with a torque figure of 390 lb⋅ft (529 N⋅m) at 5000 rpm. Noble has used forged pistons, an oil cooler, a larger baffled oil sump and extra cooling ducts to maintain its durability. 29 L/100 km (8.1 mpg ‑US ; 9.7 mpg ‑imp ).

5. Torque steer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_steer

   Torque steer is the unintended influence of engine torque on the steering, especially in front-wheel-drive vehicles. For example, during heavy acceleration, the steering may pull to one side, which may be disturbing to the driver.

6. Dynamic steering response - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_steering_response

   After calculating necessary steering corrections, the control unit instructs the electric motor to apply the torque needed to the vehicle's hydraulic steering gear. [5] For the motor's control, it picks up the data at 2000 times a second (as in Volvo truck FM Series) based on the input from the driver, and from the on-board sensors.

The piece stated that the Fusion Hybrid was the most advanced of all the cars they tested ...

9. Steering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering

   A Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS) uses hydraulic pressure supplied by an engine-driven pump to assist the motion of turning the steering wheel. Electric Power Steering (EPS) is more efficient than hydraulic power-steering, since the electric power-steering motor only needs to provide assistance when the steering wheel is turned, whereas the ...
