New technology has allowed vehicles to achieve the same amount of power a larger, high-performance engine would normally achieve while maintaining fuel economy at above average. Ford Motor Company developed the Ecoboost engine which provides the power of a V8 engine with the fuel economy of a V6. This has not only become an attractive option for the everyday consumer, but also for sectors such as law enforcement who have been able to achieve significant savings on fuel costs without losing any type of performance value of the vehicles. In addition to more fuel-efficient vehicles, hybrid vehicles have also become increasingly popular and their costs have decreased. Ford Motor Company now offers the Fusion sedan as a hybrid option, as well as the Escape and C-max. As the effects of pollution become more apparent and stricter emissions regulations are passed for new vehicles, hybrids are becoming more popular
