According to the news, Ford Europe will provide the ultra-low CO2 alternatives to customers for selected car lines along with the launching of the latest range of Ford ECOnetic models that will be displayed on the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show.
The brand new eco-friendly vehicles will apply a blend of the latest common-rail diesel powertrains jointly with other well-chosen features bulit to lessen CO2 emissions to the total smallest amount. The Ford Focus ECOnetic will be the first to be introduced by the end of 2007. The ECOnetic promises to carry the top-in-class CO 2 emissions for usual powertrain technology at just 115g/km.
"Although all of our current European models are already highly competitive in terms of CO 2, we do know that more and more car buyers seek the lowest possible emissions as a key 'why-buy?', and that they have an increasing range of such vehicles to choose from in the market," says John Fleming, the Ford of Europe President and CEO.
"By launching specific models, with dedicated Ford ECOnetic badging, which achieve ultra-low CO 2 results, we will give a clear alternative to those customers who prioritize low emissions performance in their purchasing decision.
"We chose the Ford ECOnetic name because it links ecologically friendly technology to our kinetic design 'energy in motion' philosophy for both driving quality and emotional styling. Above all, it assures our customers that these models will not sacrifice any of the driving dynamic qualities they have come to expect from Ford, even though ultra-low emissions have been prioritized," Fleming added.
According to the Ford Motor Company, the new Ford Focus ECOnetic is powered by the highly efficient 109PS, 1.6-litre Duratorq TDCi engine with standard Diesel Particulate Filter that provides an average fuel consumption of just 4.3 l/100km, which matches up to an average CO 2 emission of only 115g/km.
"The challenge for the engineering team was to deliver the maximum reduction in CO 2 using available and affordable technologies. The result of this detailed work is both a class-leading result for a vehicle with state-of-the-art conventional power train technology, and some useful learnings that we can also apply to all diesel models in the Focus range over time," says Gunnar Herrmann, Ford's Vehicle Line Director for medium cars.
