Ford does have it's own hybrid technology, the tech in the escape hybrid is Ford not toyota. Ford licensed some of toyota's patent's b/c the ford tech was close to toyota's tech so to avoid patent and legal issues ford bought lincenses on them. Common practive but it is ford technology in the escape hybrid and ford is workin still workin on it to make the fusion hybrid,and the other models on their way even better.
