A. Ford U.S. Average NOx Emissions

Grams per mile

  2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011
Passenger cars 0.08 0.06 0.06 0.05 0.06 0.07
All light duty 0.10 0.09 0.08 0.05 0.06 0.08
  • Reported to regulatory authorities (EPA)

Analysis

Ford strives to meet regulatory emissions requirements while minimizing the cost to the Company and our customers. As a result, our fleet average NOx emissions have increased while still meeting the regulatory requirements and providing value to our customers.

C. Ford U.S. Average Vehicle Emissions

Grams per mile

  2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011
Passenger cars 0.17 0.14 0.13 0.12 0.13 0.14
All light duty 0.20 0.18 0.18 0.13 0.13 0.15
  • Reported to regulatory authorities (EPA)

Notes to Data

Average vehicle emissions are the smog-forming pollutants from vehicle tailpipes, characterized as the sum of [(NMOG + NOx emissions) x volume] for all products in the fleet.

Analysis

Ford strives to meet regulatory emissions requirements while minimizing the cost to the Company and our customers. As a result, our fleet average NOx emissions, a component of our average vehicle emissions, have increased while still meeting the regulatory requirements and providing value to our customers.
