The road to the new Ford Fusion Hybrid's 47 mpg , expected to be America's most fuel-efficient non-rechargeable sedan, can be traced back to Ford's electrified vehicle team and the nearly 500 patents Ford now holds for its hybrid technology.

Want some fightin' words? Ford is throwing down the gauntlet when it comes to boasts about its new Fusion Hybrid, saying it technology research is leapfrogging Toyota.
Proof? Ford says Fusion Hybrid will get better gas mileage than Toyota's well-regarded, new Camry Hybrid, Bloomberg News reports.
Ford says it has accomplished the goal through dogged research into hybrids, including 461 patents. It's not the kind of boast that will likely go over well at Toyota, which takes its greatest pride -- justifiably -- in its hybrids.
