DETROIT (WKZO) -- Hybrids and electric vehicles are expected to help boost Ford's January sales.  The automaker expects to report sales of at least 5,500 hybrids for the month, which would shatter the company's previous sales record for January.

Led by the new Fusion Hybrid, it's anticipated that the automaker will have a record-setting year for the number of hybrids and electric vehicles sold.  Ford is expected to expand its electric vehicle lineup this year to include the new C-Max Hybrid and C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid.
