With every new product, Ford expects to be the best oramong the best for fuel economy. Today, Ford fuel economyleaders include:
• 2011 Ford Edge will offer class-leading fueleconomy – 30 percent better than the 2006 Edge –
with impressive power and torque when equipped with
the new 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4 engine.• The hybrid versions of the
Ford Fusion and Mercury
Milan offer best-in-class fueleconomy of 41 mpg city, 36
highway – making them the
most fuel-efcient midsize
sedans in North America.
• Ford Focus delivers highway fuel economy of up to35 mpg – better than the 2009 Nissan Versa SL.• Ford Escape, with a new 2.5-liter four-cylinder engineand six-speed transmission, delivers 28 mpg highway –unsurpassed by Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V.• Ford Escape Hybrid delivers 34 mpg city and 31 mpghighway for best-in-class combined mileage.• Ford Flex delivers highway fuel economy of 24 mpg –better than Honda Pilot and Hyundai Veracruz.• Ford F-150 fuel economy has improved an average of8 percent across the eet with all 2010 models with the4.6-liter, three-valve engine delivering 15 mpg city and21 mpg highway.• Lincoln Navigator delivers unsurpassed fuel economy of20 mpg on the highway.• 2011 Ford Mustang V-6 is the rst production car inhistory to produce more than 300 horsepower whiledelivering an EPA-certied 31 mpg highway.

• Ford improved in fuel economy more than any othermajor automaker between 2004 and 2009, accordingto the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA
rated Ford’s combined car and truck fuel economy
improvement at nearly 20 percent, almost double the
next closest competitor.
• Ford has accelerated efforts to bring more small,fuel-efcient cars to North America, including thenew Ford Fiesta in mid-2010 and the next-generationglobal Ford Focus in early 2011.• Ford’s newest
generation
of smaller-
displacement,turbochargedgas engines,
EcoBoost
 
provides fuel savings of between 10 and 20 percent.• By the end of 2012, 98 percent of Ford’s NorthAmerican transmissions will be advanced six-speed
gearboxes for improved fuel economy.
• By 2012, half of Ford vehicles will be capable of
running on alternative fuels.
• By 2020, Ford is targeting a 30 percent reductionin CO
2
emissions from Ford vehicles in the U.S.and Europe.• Over the next decade, Ford is planning vehicle weightreductions ranging from 250 to 750 pounds, segment
dependent, without compromising safety. Ford isexamining the use of alternative, durable materials suchas aluminum and magnesium to meet these goals.

Escape Hybrid's 34 mpg city / 31 mpg is pretty impressive. Look forward to the PHEV.

When can we expect a Ford vehicle that runs on CNG? I would prefer to buy a fusion over a civic. Chris.

Hi, Since a few years, some automotive research activities are focussing on new antiwear and antifriction coating materials materials whith which, the internal frictions in the engine and in the transmission can be highly reduced (between 60% and 80%). This would represent a corresponding fuel consumption cut between 20 and 50%, without changing anything else in the automotive power concept ( and for which other type of fuel consumption reduction improvements can be added In this field, many scientific and industrial circles are not aware that ta-C materials, can be more than 100 times better antiwear resistant, and at the same time which have a reduced dry friction with a coefficient about 0,1. In addition, and because of the low wear rates, those coating materials can then be used in reduced thickness, and therefore at very much reduced coasts, compatible with actual cost requirements, when all aspects of those advanced coating materials are well adapted and controlled. Thoses materials (or related materials) are allready used for various formula 1 engines, and the question is now to upscale these sort of technology to large industrial serial mechanical components. this can be achieved with coating means which are potentially much more industrial, and better performing than what ha been achieved up to now. However, some combined engineering/ coating process and material research is nea, to adapt and optimize actually known and allready used results. With a combined industrial technical, marketing and scientific material and advanced surface culture, I am now aknowledged as an expert in these domains (look at recent according large international conferences and the website sciencedirect,and especially the published paper ELSEVIER/TSF Vol 515(2007)6619-6653 which has been recommended by the publisher) and would be very pleased to discuss those new aspects ( in German or English)and about the possibility to have real profit od them(practical, significant and short term profit), whith your expert and industrial managers, in order to achieve rapidly these goals. I presently do not know how to transmit this message to the appropriate people within your organisation. Best regards TCE Tel 00 33 (0)1 64 36 14 07 Stephane.neuville709@orange.fr
