Ford ECOnetic Car

The wonderfull car, if you drive this car you will feel confident and comfortable.The first to be launched by the end of 2007 will be the new Ford Focus ECOnetic, which promises to deliver best-in-class CO2 emissions for conventional powertrain technology at just 115g/km. The Ford ECOnetic will be extended in 2008 to include a sub-140 g/km CO2 Mondeo and a sub-100 g/km CO2 model in Ford’s all-new B-car model range.
"By launching specific models, with dedicated Ford ECOnetic badging across our three key market segments, and which achieve ultra-low CO2 results, we will give a clear alternative to those customers who prioritise 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," Fleming added. "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 prioritised."The Ford Focus ECOnetic will be launched as an integral part of the new Focus range and go into production towards the end of 2007, with vehicles will be available across Europe from early 2008.

The Focus ECOnetic will demonstrate that very favourable fuel consumption levels and significantly reduced CO2 emissions can both be achieved using conventional drive technology, coupled with a clever combination of individual, fuel-saving measures.

The new Ford Focus ECOnetic, powered by the highly efficient 109PS, 1.6-litre Duratorq TDCi engine with standard Diesel Particulate Filter, delivers an average fuel consumption of just 4.3 l/100km, which corresponds to an average CO2 emission of only 115g/km.

"The challenge for the engineering team was to deliver the maximum reduction in CO2 using available and affordable techologies," said Gunnar Herrmann, Ford’s Vehicle Line Director for medium cars. "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."
