Ford will provide access to the patents of electric vehicles

Last year Tesla Motors announced that it will not make any claims to third-party developers and manufacturers of electric vehicles using patented technologies. Now access to their patents for electric and hybrid vehicles, decided to open Ford: however, this is done on a paid basis.

It is reported that a Ford is more than 650 patents and approximately 1,000 patent applications on developments in the field of electric vehicles and hybrids. The company offers six models of these cars: is the Ford Focus Electric, Ford Fusion Hybrid, Ford Fusion Energi Plug-In Hybrid, Ford C-MAX Hybrid, Ford C-MAX Energi Plug-In Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ Hybrid.

It is assumed that access, albeit paid, to the company's intellectual property will contribute to the development of environmentally friendly transport. In particular, third-party companies will be able to adopt such technologies Ford as a means of improving the efficiency of batteries and extend their lifetime, ways of increasing energy production as a result of recovery and means of reduce fuel consumption by adaptation to the style and style of riding specific driver.
