Ford on track to beat its low-emission target
Ford is accelerating its efforts to minimise fuel consumption and CO2 emissions across its product range. Significant new developments already introduced in 2010 include the launch of the high efficiency Ford EcoBoost turbocharged direct injection petrol engine family and completely updated versions of the powerful yet highly fuel-efficient Duratorq TDCi diesel engines.
Along with the wider introduction of low-CO2 ECOnetic technologies such as Eco Mode and Smart Regenerative Charging, Ford is on track to surpass its goal of a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions from its new vehicles by 2020, relative to a 2006 model year baseline. Ford’s low-CO2 technologies bring benefits across the whole model range, not only in low emissions and improved fuel economy, but in lowering the levels of vehicle excise duty payable.
There are Ka, Fiesta, Fusion, Focus and C-MAX models with zero VED payable in the first year. Mondeo models with the 163PS 2.0 TDCi Stage V engine and 6- speed manual transmission – with a top speed of 137mph, 0-60mph acceleration in 8.6 seconds and fuel economy of 53.3mpg – emit just 139g/km, and there are S-MAX and Galaxy derivatives with emissions less than 160g/km including PowerShift automatic versions.
