• The new Ford Mondeo ECOnetic features a specially calibrated 115 PS (85 kW) version of the 1.6L Duratorq TDCi engine equipped with a standard diesel particulate filter. Due to a combination of changes compared to the standard Mondeo, the second-generation Mondeo ECOnetic is delivering a combined fuel consumption of just 4.3 L/100km (65.6 mpg UK),6 which translates into average CO₂ emissions of 114 g/km – an important tax break point in some European markets.
• The new Ford Focus ECOnetic, which will be launched in Europe in 2012, is expected to use less than 3.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (equal to 80 mpg UK)6 and have CO₂ emissions below 95 g/km – better than all compact cars currently on the market in Europe.

Some examples of our vehicles by region are below.

North America

In North America, we continued to introduce new vehicles that use the technologies identified in our technology blueprint and offer outstanding fuel economy and reduce CO₂ emissions. For example, during 2010 and early 2011, we:

• Continued to introduce new vehicles with best-in-class fuel economy, including the 2011 Ford Edge, Explorer and F-150 and the Lincoln MKX, all of which have unsurpassed fuel economy in their respective segments.7 Please see best-in-class list above for more vehicles with outstanding fuel economy.
• Introduced the Ford Fiesta, our global compact car, which uses the PowerShift dual-clutch transmission and other fuel-economy technologies to accomplish best-in-class fuel economy.7
• Began production of the Transit Connect Electric, the first of five electrified vehicles planned for North America by 2012. Ford is electrifying platforms – versus single vehicles – to offer customers the most choice. Three vehicles will be introduced based on the Ford Focus C-car platform: the Focus Electric, the C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid and C-MAX Hybrid, followed by another next-generation hybrid sedan. (See the electrification case study for details.)
• Continued to expand the use of our EcoBoost engines, which significantly improve the fuel economy of gasoline engines. We will equip as much as 90 percent of our North American lineup with EcoBoost engines by 2013.

Europe

Ford already offers one of the broadest low-CO₂ vehicle portfolios in Europe. In 2008, we began launching our ECOnetic line of vehicles. These ultra-low-CO₂ versions of select Ford diesel vehicles leverage several advanced fuel-saving technologies. The ECOnetic name was chosen because it links ecologically sensitive technology to our “energy in motion” design philosophy, which combines driving quality and emotional styling. Our ECOnetic cars use a combination of the latest common-rail diesel powertrains and other carefully selected features engineered to reduce CO₂ emissions to a minimum. These include: high-strength steels and other lightweight materials; electric power-assisted steering; an aerodynamics kit, including lowered ride height and aerodynamic details such as wheel covers and wheel deflectors; low-rolling-resistance tires; and our Auto Start/Stop and Active Grill Shutter.

With the new generations of the Ford Mondeo ECOnetic in 2011 and the new Ford Focus ECOnetic in 2012, we will extend the availability of best-in-class or among-best-in-class, extremely low-CO₂ vehicles, which now include the following:

• The Ford Fiesta 1.6L 95 PS TDCi, available since January 2009, with a fuel economy of 3.7l/100km (63.6 mpg (UK))6, emitting only 98 g/km of CO₂.
• The new Ford Focus ECOnetic, which debuted at the Amsterdam Motorshow in April 2011 and will be launched in 2012, is expected to use less than 3.5 liters of fuel per 100km (equal to 80 mpg UK) and CO₂ emissions below 95 g/km – better than all compact cars currently on the market in Europe.
• The new Mondeo ECOnetic with a specially calibrated 115 PS (85 kW) version of the 1.6L Ford Duratorq TDCi engine equipped with a standard cDPF. Due to a combination of changes compared to the standard Mondeo, the second-generation Mondeo ECOnetic is delivering a combined fuel consumption of just 4.3 l/100km (65.6 mpg UK), which translates into average CO₂ emissions of 114 g/km – an important tax break point in some European markets.

The following table highlights the fuel economy and CO₂ improvements of the ECOnetic models introduced thus far.

Model	Fuel Economy8 L/100km	CO2 Emissions
2012 Ford Focus ECOnetic, with 1.6L Duratorq TDCi diesel engine	<3.5	<95 g/km
2011 Ford Mondeo ECOnetic, with 1.6L Duratorq TDCi diesel engine	4.3	114 kg/km
2011 Ford Fiesta ECOnetic, with 1.6L Duratorq TDCi diesel engine	3.7	98 kg/km

After the successful introduction of the new EcoBoost gasoline engine family in the U.S., Ford launched 2.0L and 1.6L EcoBoost engines in Europe in 2010. These turbocharged, direct-injection gasoline engines will deliver up to 20 percent better fuel economy and fewer CO₂ emissions compared to conventional gasoline engines.

In addition, our global electric vehicle plan is extending to Europe with five full electric or hybrid vehicles. Specifically, Ford will launch two zero-emission full battery electric vehicles, including the Transit Connect Electric light commercial vehicle in 2011 followed by the Ford Focus Electric in 2012. The Ford C-MAX Hybrid and C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid will launch in 2013, together with another hybrid model.

Ford of Europe’s innovative Product Sustainability Index (PSI) shows how the vision of sustainability can be made operational. By combining comprehensive sustainability criteria into the earliest stages of the product development process, Ford’s PSI provides a groundbreaking design-for-sustainability tool. Designers can use it to assess the lifecycle CO₂ emissions of a vehicle, and consumers can use it to understand a vehicle’s footprint.

Asia Pacific and Africa

In our Asia Pacific and Africa region, we are focusing our near-term fuel-efficiency efforts on the systematic implementation of advanced diesel and EcoBoost engines, as well as advanced transmission technology. In China we currently offer the Ford Mondeo with an EcoBoost engine and PowerShift transmission. This product is best in its segment for fuel economy in the China market. We have also launched the Ford Fiesta with a Ti-VCT engine and six-speed automatic transmission across most of our Asia Pacific and Africa markets, making it among the leaders in its segment for fuel economy.

In India, we introduced the Ford Figo in March 2010, which has two engine options: a best-in-class, fuel-efficient 1.4L TDCi diesel and a very competitive 1.2L gasoline engine. The Figo introduction is highly significant to our success in India, as our studies show fuel economy to be the most important criteria in purchase consideration in that country.

In Australia, we will launch an EcoBoost version of the Ford Mondeo in 2011 and of the Ford Falcon in early 2012. Also in Australia, Ford’s next-generation EcoLPi liquid-injection LPG system for the Falcon will go on sale in mid-2011, providing customers with the most advanced LPG technology on the market.

South America

In South America, we are improving fuel economy by introducing some of the efficient engine and transmission technologies currently used in North America, and by using technologies specifically relevant to the widespread use of biofuels in Brazil. For example, we have implemented improved engine compression ratios – or the ratio in which the air and fuel mixture is compressed in the engine combustion chamber – on flexible-fuel vehicles in Brazil. This optimizes fuel efficiency in vehicles using biofuels, which have a higher octane rating than petroleum-based gasoline. We have also improved the gearing ratios, aerodynamics and rolling resistance of our South American models, further increasing fuel economy. We introduced a new, more-efficient “Sigma” engine on the 2010 South American Focus, which also will be extended to other vehicles. This engine will improve efficiency compared to current engines through reduced internal friction and improved electronic throttle controls. For the 2012 model year and beyond, we are planning to introduce even more fuel-efficient twin independent variable cam timing engines and direct-injection engines, Battery Management Systems, smart alternator systems, dual-clutch automatic transmissions and improved aerodynamics.
