Data notes and analysis

In 2013, we improved the average fuel economy of our car fleet by 2 percent, and of our truck fleet by 3 percent compared to 2012. However, our combined corporate average fuel economy declined by 1.7 percent in 2013 due to increased customer demand for trucks over cars.

Data notes and analysis

Improvement is reflected in decreasing grams per mile. This is the second year that the CO₂ data has come directly from Ford’s official Greenhouse Gas report. Under the One National Program regulation, 2012 MY is the first year where a separate greenhouse gas compliance report is required, in addition to the annual CAFE report. The CO₂ value includes FFV credits, but does not include credits/debits for air conditioning or off-cycle technologies or CH₄/N₂O compliance.

Data notes and analysis

No data are yet available for 2013. Official 2013 data will be published by the European Commission in the fourth quarter of 2014.
For 2012, final official data from the European Commission (EC) were published in November 2013 for passenger cars (vehicle category M1). For passenger cars, only 65 percent of the best-CO₂-performing fleet vehicles is accounted in this data as part of the EC’s phase-in plan. Improvement is reflected in decreasing grams per kilometer. These figures are based on production data for European markets. European and U.S. fleet CO₂ emissions are not directly comparable because they are calculated in different units and because they are assessed based on different drive cycles. In 2009, we switched from reporting European vehicle CO₂ emissions as a percent of a 1995 base to reporting actual fleet average CO₂ emissions, to parallel our reporting for other regions.

Data notes and analysis

No data are yet available for 2013. Official 2013 data will be published by the European Commission in the fourth quarter of 2014.
For 2012, final official data from the European Commission (EC) were published in November 2013 for light commercial vehicles (vehicle category N1). For 2012, 70 percent of the best-CO₂-performing light commercial vehicles are accounted for in this data. Note: For EC/Member State 2012 data it is evident that certain data were missing or manifestly incorrect. As a consequence, the 2012 data for light commercial vehicles should be considered incomplete. In 2014, official CO₂ monitoring will begin for light commercial vehicles (category N1). Between 2014 to 2017, the EC “phase-in rule” will be applied by increasing the fleet coverage accounted for in official fleet CO₂ data, starting with 70 percent of the lowest-CO₂ vehicles in 2014, and expanding to 75 percent in 2015 and 80 percent in 2016.

Data notes and analysis

Preliminary 2013 data has been published. The 2013 data includes 75 percent of the best-CO₂-performing fleet vehicles, as part of the Swiss phase-in plan.
In 2012, Switzerland introduced CO₂ monitoring using the same test methodology applied in Europe with stringent target line. The 2012 data only includes CO₂ monitoring for the second half of the year (Q3 & Q4). The 2012 data includes 65 percent of the best-CO₂-performing fleet vehicles, as part of the Swiss phase-in plan.
