The second generation Focus ECOnetic builds on our approach to create cars that are as fuel efficient as possible today, without compromising the driving experience. This vehicle, equipped with the Ford Auto-Start-Stop system, goes a long way to delivering that goal, with just 99 g/km CO2 emissions and delivering 74.2mpg.
At Ford, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact through a broad range of measures and actions. These include making our cars more fuel efficient and our manufacturing processes more sustainable – some of which we're highlighting at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
The Ford Auto-Start-Stop system automatically cuts the engine when the vehicle is stationary, for example at traffic lights. As soon as the driver prepares to move away, the engine starts quietly. In fact, the system stops and starts the engine so smoothly and seamlessly, there's no need to alter driver behaviour.
Better still, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions can be reduced by 5% in mixed driving conditions. The Focus ECOnetic also uses Smart Regenerative Charging to conserve battery power, by adapting the charge going into the battery according to the way the vehicle is being driven.
In summary, EcoBoost provides:
• Optimised engine efficiency with fuel consumption and CO2 emissions reduced by up to 20%
• Greater driving enjoyment from strong low-end torque and responsive performance across the full rev range
• Opportunity to downsize and get large-engine performance, but with the size, weight and fuel economy of a much smaller unit
