Not having friends or family working on the Escape, I can't say with certainty, but my understanding is that the first iteration of the FEH was entirely Ford developed, but the 08 introduced software developed by Toyota to manage the integration of the gas engine and electric motor.
I can tell you more about the accounting and costs of the FEH than the mechanics.
