  1. The Global Quality Research System (GQRS) is a Ford-sponsored competitive research survey. The GQRS is a good indicator of other quality results. For the 2011 model year, we began reporting global GQRS TGW data. In previous years we had reported only North American region GQRS TGW data. In addition, we changed the GQRS survey to include additional questions on vehicle entertainment and information systems. Therefore, the 2011 results are not comparable to previous years.
  2. The Global Quality Research System (GQRS) is a Ford-sponsored competitive research survey. The GQRS is a good indicator of other quality results. For the 2011 model year, we began reporting global GQRS Customer Satisfaction data. In previous years, we had reported only North American region GQRS Customer Satisfaction data. In addition, we changed the GQRS survey to include additional questions on vehicle entertainment and information systems. Therefore, 2011 results are not comparable to previous years.
  3. This is preliminary data; official data from European Commission expected in November 2013.
  4. The energy efficiency index is a normalized indicator of energy used per vehicle produced based on a calculation that adjusts for typical variances in weather and vehicle production. The Index is set at 100 for the baseline year to simplify tracking annual improvements. In 2012, we expanded our energy efficiency to include global energy use data. In previous years, it only included energy use at North American facilities. In 2012, we also reset the baseline year to 2011. A year 2000 baseline was used through 2006; the baseline was reset to year 2010 starting in 2011. The year 2012 improvement indexed against the year 2011 baseline was 6.4, indicating a 6.4 percent improvement in global energy efficiency per vehicle from 2011 to 2012. Higher percentage reflects improvement.
  5. In 2013, this figure rose to 93 percent.
  6. Prior-year ‘Assessments completed to date’ figures reflect calculation errors in deriving totals. These errors have been corrected for 2012; however, certain figures may be slightly lower than in prior years due to the calculation corrections.
