Ford Motor Company announced today that General Electric (GE) has placed the largest order for plug-in electrified vehicles. 2,000 C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrids will bolster GE’s already substantial alternative energy fleet of cars.

“At GE, we are focused on providing our customers and our fleet with more economically and environmentally efficient vehicles. The Ford C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid is a great addition to our expanding fleet of alternative fuel vehicles,” said Mark Vachon, vice president of ecomagination at GE.
