Ford Model-T

Henry Ford did not invent the automobile or the assembly line. However, he changed the world using a technique of the assembly line to produce cars that could be provided by all. From 1909 to 1927, built the Ford Motor Company more than 15 million Ford Model-T cars No doubt Henry Ford transformed the economic and social structure of the 20th century.



Ford is often quoted as saying: "I will build my car has a lot of people." At that time, was a revolutionary business model to reduce the product cost and profit of the company in exchange for an increase in sales volume. Up to now, in time the car was a status symbol and cars were painstakingly built by hand the rich. By the end of 1913, the application of the moving assembly line, Ford has improved the speed of the frame assembly for 12 hours and eight minutes to an hour and 33 minutes. In 1914, Ford produced 308 162 vehicles, 299 which was more than all other manufacturers combined. By the time the Model T was built recently in 1927, the company produced a car every 24 seconds.

The first production Ford Model T (1909 model year) was assembled at the Piquette Avenue plant in Detroit, the first oktober 1908th During the next 19 years relatively few fundamental changes have been made in the basic design. In 1926, the design was so antiquated as the Model T could not compete with more modern offerings from competitors like Chevrolet. 1927 was the last year for the lady of Henry, the "universal car."



In 1906, Ford secretly set up a place to build his car in the building Piquette Avenue in Detroit. Ford spent nearly two years designing the Model T, on the basis of information obtained from the production of earlier cars, like his Ford Model N.

While Henry Ford and his team had plans for his new car, he attended a race in Florida, where he surveyed the wreckage of a French race car. He noted that it was made of a different kind of steel parts and cars were lighter than those he had already been seen. He learned that this new steel is an alloy of vanadium, and had almost three times the tensile strength of the alloys used by his contemporaries the U.S. automakers. Nobody in America knew how to vanadium Ford financed and set up a steel plant. Therefore, the only cars in the world to use vanadium steel over the next five years will be French luxury cars and the use of the Ford Model T. Ford vanadium is why so many Model T Ford have survived in today. Ford Model T, including the top 10 best-selling car in the world of all time with toyota corolla.



Henry's Model T changed the world forever. In 1909, a $ 825, customers could buy a Ford car reliable, which was pretty easy to drive. Ford has sold more than 10,000 Model T cars in the first year of production, a new record for any car model.

Ford has applied the concept of moving assembly line at its production plant in late 1913. His staff constantly monitored productive and relentlessly analyzed the statistical measures to optimize employee productivity. Over the years the Model T came in many different models, all built with essentially the same engine and chassis: the Model T roadster, coupe, coupelet, runabout, roadster torpedo, town car, touring, and fordor and Tudor sedan.



No one really knows if Henry Ford ever said that the public could buy Ford Model T "in any color as long as it's black," but it is commonly attributed to him. While this saying is true for model years after 1913, earlier cars were available in green, red, blue and gray. In fact, in the first year, Ford Model T was not available in black at all. The transition to all black cars was due to the continued occupation of Ford to reduce costs, and not, as is believed to reduce drying time and thereby increase production.



More than 30 different types of black paint was used to paint the different parts of the Ford Model-T. The different types of paint were formulated to meet the diverse ways of applying paint to the parts, and had different drying times, depending on the coating and drying method applied to a particular part. Ford technical documents indicate that the color black was chosen because it was cheap, and it was durable. In 1926 colors other than black were once again offered in order to increase sales declining.Source URL: https://googleinsights2011.blogspot.com/search/label/Ford

Or when stopped on a steep hill, Hill Launch Assist helps the driver to take her full round of burden away without trust.

Number of braking technologies work together to ensure maximum stopping distance in all circumstances, such as the Anti-Lock Braking System, Brake Assist and Electronic Brake-force Distribution, which is used to maximize the braking force on rear wheels, such as changes in the payload, while maintaining stability. The emergency brake, hazard lights to warn other motorists.

In addition to security technologies, the new Ranger has been designed with features to protect pedestrians. Technologies that emerged from a research project worldwide Ford vehicle models for pedestrians, have been applied to a pick-up for the first time. This includes a "hexageneous" structure under the hood to reduce the risk of head injuries to pedestrians, pedestrians and the bumper to absorb energy edge material. Other new technologies include Ranger rear parking and reversing camera system.

A strong partner in this adventure

When the all-new chassis, front and rear suspension and steering system, the Ranger promises car-like comfort, reduced steering effort, stability on the road more precise and better handling. Although the narrow streets of the city, pick-up a tight turning radius makes it easy to control pitch while sitting increased.

For those who need a reliable vehicle for off-road adventures, the Wildtrak corresponds perfectly with a stiffer chassis, the ground clearance of 230 mm and transmission components mounted strategically over the beam out of danger. Wildtrak can also go further than any other compact pickup, with the ability to travel up to 800 mm of water - an element of first class.

Automatic and manual four-wheel drive models are equipped with a transfer case with electronic control that allows experienced motorists traveling on Route 4x2 4x4 anytime via a switch on the console. If extra torque to the wheels or downhill braking is required, low range can also be enabled. To meet the needs of different customers, Ranger ordered with a wide range of final drive ratios.

Ranger ESP system includes logic that recognizes off-road when a pickup truck driven on rough roads and change the system to ensure the best balance between stability and timeliness of actions. On 4x4 models, the ESP system can be partially switched off and too much understeer control and engine torque is reduced, while maintaining the skid braking. This option is ideal when driving on sand or mud, as deep as the ultimate step of the car can remain at the same time to maximize available traction. ESP can be switched to another set of ESP continues to change the brakes that the aid is to begin to pull away the snow and ice.

When the terrain becomes very difficult and Ranger is a leverage to four wheel drive low, it gives the driver more control through the accelerator, which is amortized and less sensitive. This prevents unintended acceleration caused by the bouncing motion of the driver's foot while moving over rough terrain.

"The new Ranger is a very capable vehicle and consists of both on-and off-road," said Jesus Alonso. "It 's designed for the global vehicle and to combine the best of all worlds - an outstanding safety, excellent fuel economy, contemporary style, interior comfort, technology, and class-leading towing and payload capacity - and one tonne per package, fits perfectly with the athletic lifestyle.

The new 2011 Ford Super Duty gives them a tow truck with the best in its class and payload capacity, new engines and even greater ability than ever to help them do their job. "




Ford F-Series was the best-selling line of trucks in the U.S. for 32 consecutive years. The new Super Duty Ford also emphasizes the legacy of the hard drive Ford.

"2011 Ford Super Duty offers a wide range of solutions for a wide range of heavy workload for customers," said Chris Brewer, chief engineer. "Super Duty collection offers a variety of body styles and power supplies, diesel and petrol engines, each of the new six-speed gearbox, a chassis cab pickup trucks, each with a towing capacity and payload, which determine Super Duty ".



New diesel and gasoline engines for better torque, power, fuel economy

For 2011, Super Duty offers both a new diesel engine and gasoline engine mated to a new transmission. The new diesel engine, 6.7 liter Power Stroke V-8 turbo diesel load was designed, developed and built by a Ford team is dedicated exclusively to provide this first class engine, diesel for the next generation of Super Duty for enable the continued best in class towing and payload.

The advantages of the new electric motor of 6.7 liters diesel race:

* First use of compacted graphite iron block engine (CGI) in a Super Duty vehicle class in North America, CGI is stronger than cast iron, and Ford have used successfully in the engine block material in products worldwide. The block structure has been optimized to reduce weight and maximum strength to meet the requirements for higher torque and more power and deliver fuel economy in their class.

* The unique interior and exterior architecture exhaust inlet for the first time in the automotive industry for a modern diesel production, reduce the overall volume of the exhaust system, which leads to better throttle response, a reducing area of ​​the exhaust system minimizes the heat transfer surface in the engine compartment and improved NVH (noise, vibration and harshness).

* The turbocharger has a compressor wheel industry first duplex that works in one box. The unit is clearly center-mounted on a low base in the bottom of the valley improved NVH. The design allows a single device to provide the benefits of a system with two turbochargers in a small package that combines the most effective benefits from a small turbocharger (rapid response) and a large turbocharger (ability to compress and force more air into the engine for more power) into a single unit.

* The high pressure fuel in the fuel system sprays more than 29,000 pounds per square inch. The system delivers up to five injection events per cylinder per cycle through eight piezo injectors spray fuel hole in the piston bowl. Direct injection system is calibrated and progressive for optimal power, fuel economy and NVH.

* Aluminum cylinder heads to reduce weight, building a half bridge, with two water jacket provides maximum strength and optimum cooling, six bolts, not four as found on other engines, to improve the seal and to maintain the integrity of the firing cylinder pressure even higher.

* Supports up to B20 fuel, which allows environmental solutions for powering up to 20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent petroleum diesel.

"The development of new 6.7-liter Power Stroke V-8 turbo diesel engine was a fantastic effort," said Adam Gryglak, Senior Manager 6.7 liter diesel engineering. "After all the technical testing, and We are confident that this engine will ensure that the new Super Duty continues its leadership in capacity, reliability and productivity. "

The engine management system and post-treatment 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbo diesel V-8 powertrain cleverly loaded to meet the new standards more stringent 2010 federal emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) lowering of about 80 percent.

New petrol engine provides more torque output than the previous model

Ford has used part of its proud sporting heritage to create a new 6.2-liter gasoline engine V-8, which uses a high powered architecture for energy and fuel economy in its class. The V-8 large-caliber (102 mm) allows for greater input and exhaust valves for improved engine breathing and short stroke (95 mm) allows for greater engine speed to increase power.

Advantages of the new 6.2-liter engine gasoline V-8 include:

* Valves SOHC with roller shafts-rocker: a single overhead camshaft (SOHC) per cylinder head design results in a stiff valve train that allows optimized profiles lift camshaft and results in high torque at low speed. roller shafts, rocker valve angle allows to be dispersed, resulting in consumption and optimized layout of the exhaust port for better breathing.

* The variable timing DOHC same: the intake and exhaust valve opening and closing gradually in the fuel economy and performance while maximizing the full range of engine speed and throttle position.

* Two spark plugs per cylinder: Due to the size of large caliber, two spark plugs per cylinder are used more efficiently burn the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber, allowing greater fuel economy and torque increase. Both covers also help keep the engine of a smooth and steady at idle.

* Two knock sensors: knock sensor for each bank of cylinders in V-8 engine features ignition timing for each cylinder individually optimized in real time, across the range of engine speeds. The engine learns the optimal timing using the algorithm.

* Best Engine crankcase "breathing" and efficiency: the significant development and computer aided engineering optimized engine block air flow more efficiently into the crankcase as the piston moves up and down in the wells, resulting a better torque at high rpm. Piston-cooling jets spraying oil on the underside of the pistons to keep the piston heads cool in extreme operating conditions. The cooling jets also allow higher compression ratio for improved engine efficiency and fuel economy faster engine warm-up during cold starts, also improved.

New harnesses and power management TorqShift transmission, live PTO available drive

The all-new heavy 6R140 TorqShift six-speed automatic was designed to control the torque at low premium product with the new diesel engine. The same basic transmission is also coupled with the new gasoline engine that allows customers is driving the ability to get the most torque and power to the ground. Designed for greater efficiency and fuel savings are sophisticated architecture to provide relatively low switching speeds, resulting in loss of drag reduction, and optimized fluid levels and drain back to reduce the turbulence of the fluid while providing superior lubrication.

In addition, an improved hardware-based, new offer has been improved tow catch an integrated engine brake and SelectShift an automatic feature that includes a progressive mode range, and select Manual, allowing customers to choose the gear needs.

New TorqShift transmission also allows the first application for Live Drive PTO (PTO), and the Super Duty-class vehicles. The 2011 Ford Super diesel engine with a PTO prep option, the output device is connected to the PTO shaft torque converter. This allows the transmission of ancillary equipment such as snowplows, aerial platforms, lifts, trucks, cement mixers and dump trucks. Power is available whenever the engine is running.

A pioneer of Agriculture, Live Drive is particularly useful when mobile PTO is necessary for operations to start and stop, such as salting or snow removal. "A fully functional mobile Live Drive PTO Super Duty will allow customers to take full advantage of the equipment on their trucks," said Al Bruck, director of engineering 6R140 transmission.

Trailer Sway Control can be determined from the orientation of the truck if the trailer is balanced and take measures - such as applying precise braking torque or small - to help reduce trailer sway.

For more information about the peace of mind, the available integrated trailer brake controller, factory installed by Ford and the limited warranty provides an easier and safer to use because of its ability to manage multiple ship systems.

Normal braking is proportional to the pressure of braking by the driver brake stops with no problems at all speeds. If the vehicle anti-lock (ABS) is involved, especially for the trailer brake kicks in to minimize the possibility of blocking the wheels of the trailer. Super Duty trucks towing trailers, trailer brake control, electric brakes, the Ford system may bend during the event, also apply to the trailer brakes to help stabilize it.

Other enhanced towing and off-road control and property safety are the following improvements:

* Hill Start Assist, which applies the brakes in order to rollback

* Hill Descent Control ™, which use set accelerator and brake, and then maintain the speed

* Electronic differential lock for maximum traction by forcing the rear wheels to rotate at the same speed

* Standard tire pressure monitoring system to all SRW (single rear wheel) models

* Optional side airbags and air curtains

* New available 4.2-inch LCD screen provides information about specific features such as Trailer Brake Control and towing Haul

A better ride, handling and steering a pleasant experience

In addition to increased towing and payload capacity and improved fuel economy enabled by the new engines, including customers in the next Super Duty will benefit from improved ride, handling and steering. For 2011, the technical team optimized chassis and suspension of the current Super Duty, including leaf springs and spring rate, and adjusting internal valve function in all the shock absorbers, tow so a greater capacity payload and with sophistication turn.

The facility management is new. The 4x2 F-250 and F-350 Super Duty modified function steering geometry to better enjoy the double I-beam suspension, which combines the performance of an independent suspension in the sustainability of a beam axle. A better response, better accuracy and the central management and control comes to the steering gear symmetrical left to right.

The result is greater customer convenience, confidence and control in all situations.

"A lot of comfort in the Super Duty trucks through control," said Dan Gompper, supervisor of vehicle dynamics. "No matter if the truck is loaded or unloaded, an empty trailer or a trailer, customers can have confidence."

This includes a DVD player under the front passenger seat, two seven-inch integrated LCD display behind the front seat headrests, an infrared remote control and two infrared headphones.

More benefits: the 2.0-liter Ford EcoBoost

The new global family of Ford's EcoBoost engines with direct injection, turbocharging and variable two valves to optimize combustion efficiency, fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions by up to 20 percent compared to gasoline engines similar conventional power.

Core strategy behind Ford's EcoBoost program is to achieve a small gasoline engines, which consume less fuel and reduce emissions further, using the turbocharger and other Powertrain Technologies to provide significantly improved fuel economy and performance of the torque of an engine capacity greater.

Mondeo 240 PS the new version from Ford's 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine the same basic technology and design of the famous 203 hp version, launched in the S-MAX, Galaxy and Mondeo as early as 2010, and continue to be available in the new Ford Mondeo range. It will build on the significant changes in the exhaust calibration engine intake and together to facilitate the delivery of the extra 37 PS of power.

The 203 hp (149 kW) version delivers an impressive peak horsepower at 6000 rpm, with a combined maximum torque of 300 Nm is delivered through a wide speed range 1750-4500. The new engine produces its 240 hp (176 kW) at 6,000 rpm with maximum torque of 340 Nm through the rev range of 1900-3500 rpm, with an impressive torque of 320 Nm is still available at 5000 rpm / min / min.

The two engines of 2.0 liter Ford EcoBoost are available exclusively for the very flexible and easy-Ford six-speed dual-clutch Powershift transmission automatic wet, giving drivers an engine that combines exceptional performance and efficiency with supreme elegance.

Although figures are reactive, both versions of the new Ford EcoBoost 2.0-liter engine can produce the new Mondeo's impressive fuel economy and low CO2 emissions.

Whatever power or body style of a combined fuel consumption of 7.7 L/100km (36.6 mpg) achieved. This is reflected by the average CO2 emissions of just 179 g / km. Compared to the previous 161 PS powerplant automatic 2.3 liter of the old Ford Mondeo, which is reduced CO2 emissions by 19 percent, although the new 2.0-liter engine has until the power of nearly 50 percent higher and 60 percent more torque.

The Sound of Power

Ford engineers have developed the new Mondeo 240 bhp Ford EcoBoost engine to ensure its performance is further understood as experienced.

A new design of the exhaust manifold has been developed based on the 203 PS version installed, but still designed to withstand the high temperatures generated by a higher power. This is particularly important when the motor is continuously driven hard over long distances, and also offers a full flow of exhaust gas to drive Borg Warner K03 turbocharger more efficiently. In addition, the entire engine management system is re-programmed and calibrated to achieve greater power and torque without compromising fuel economy or CO2 levels.

A particularly significant change is aimed at driving sensations: "We felt obliged to reward the driver 240-horsepower version of the popular Ford sport and technology Symposer Sound," Dr. Rechs said.

Originally developed for the Ford Focus RS ST and performance cars, the system "sound symposer amplifies selected frequencies to transmit the engine sounds good engine into the cabin through a specially crafted link between the intake manifold and the forward cabin partition.

As with all systems symposer engine has been adapted and optimized to fit the specific character of the Ford Mondeo has a distinctive sound and sports car without the raw edge. Full acceleration symposer most votes in an envelope of 3 dB (A) average, which leads to a more efficient feedback and sporty-sounding than the 203 hp version.

Ford EcoBoost benefits

Lightweight all-aluminum construction, the latest generation of high pressure direct injection system, low inertia turbo and twin variable cam timing all contribute independently to the 2.0-liter Ford EcoBoost reach new levels of performance and fuel economy of gasoline engines in this power range. Powertrain engineers of society have maximized the improvements made by the creation of a new advanced combustion system combining the advantages of these three essential elements.

At the center of the combustion system is the latest generation of advanced high-pressure direct injection injects the fuel to each cylinder of small precise quantities. The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine is equipped with seven-hole side injector, operating in 150 bar apparatus that controls the fuel plumes of individual exactly where they are needed and efficient combustion. Compared with conventional injection, direct injection produces a cooler and denser, allowing for a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine Ford has a higher compression ratio and a greater push from the turbocharger, which improves fuel efficiency and a strong low-end level.

To maximize the pleasure of the driver, Ford EcoBoost engines provide the same torque very low, which makes diesel engines later so popular, combined with modern high performance throughout the engine speed range. This is made possible by turbocharging technology with small low inertia rotors which rotate at speeds over 200,000 rpm. The 2.0-liter engine is equipped with a Borg Warner K03 turbocharger optimized design to ensure that the maximum torque is achieved at low engine speeds (1,500 rpm), with an absolute minimum of delay (or "turbo-layer") where the driver requires quick acceleration.

On the contrary, care for turbo charger ensures that Ford EcoBoost engines are powerful and responsive at high speeds of 5,000 rpm, providing a much wider margin of the power of a conventional diesel engine. For example, the driver may appeal to the 90 percent of maximum torque between 1,400 and 5,500 rpm. This wide distribution of power also allows a higher transmission to be used, further benefiting fuel economy and refinement.

The 2.0-liter Ford EcoBoost engine is an independent variable valve timing for intake and exhaust cams to optimize the flow of gas into the combustion chamber at all engine speeds. TiVCT (Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing) system plays an important role in improving engine efficiency and performance, especially at partial load.

TiVCT use has also allowed the engineers to continue to improve torque at low speeds, using the "purification system" effect. Scavenging take advantage of differences in pressure in the intake and exhaust to increase the flow of refrigerant, the fresh air at low speeds, and produces more torque and helps the turbo spins faster. TiVCT system uses a Vane-type actuators for control of oil pressure, and may vary depending on the angle of the cam 50 degrees for both the individual intake and exhaust valves.

Engine design is optimized for maximum efficiency, with particular emphasis on minimizing the friction losses and other parasites. Special features include the use of special low friction coating on piston rings and polished surfaces of the pushers.

Because this 2.0-liter engine is small compared with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder it replaces, which provides additional benefits of reducing the effectiveness of internal friction, reducing pumping losses, lighter weight and more rapid warming and helps ensure that real-world economy engine fuel are supplied in all driving conditions, including city and highway driving.

To ensure optimum engine performance is maintained at all times, a control system of the State of the art electronic monitors all key variables, including the system TiVCT, turbo, throttle position electronic ignition, pressure fuel injection and delivery, and the knock sensor. Controller operates in real time as data samples from the engine thousands of times per second.

A key factor is the ability to heat the engine exhaust catalyst quickly during critical periods of cold start conditions. This is achieved by optimizing valve timing with TiVCT system and the use of the capacity of the fuel injection system to provide multiple injections per combustion cycle.

Refined 2.0-liter Ford Duratorq TDCi

The core line of the new Mondeo diesel engine-up is a much improved 2.0-liter Ford Duratorq TDCi engine family, which fully comply with emissions regulations stage V, which are now available with three levels of Power - 115 hp, 140 hp and 163 hp (85, 103 and 120 kW).

These engines are known for their strong driving performance, increased availability of high torque at low rpm - 300 Nm at only 1500 to 2250 rpm where the 115 hp version 320 Nm at 1750-2750 rpm with 140 hp and 340 Nm at 2,000 rpm at 3250 engine with 163 PS.

With a refined performance characteristics and low cost of ownership, including the new Duratorq TDCi engine offers impressive fuel economy and CO2 emissions. With a consumption of 5.3 l/100 km (53.2 km / l) and an average CO2 emission of just 139 g / km, all new Ford Mondeo TDCi with a six-speed manual transmission to provide figures previously met only by Mondeo ECOnetic dedicated model.

As an alternative to the manual transmission option, and two 140 hp (103 kW and 120) Version 2.0-liter Duratorq TDCi are also available with the famous Ford Powershift transmission with six-speed automatic dual-clutch wet, a delivery of 163 Combined cycle fuel economy of just 5.6 l/100 km (50.4 miles per gallon), with an average CO2 emission of 149 g / km.

The value of a full range of engines

Besides the new 2.0-liter EcoBoost petrol and 2.0 and 2.2-liter Duratorq TDCi diesel engine, the new Ford Mondeo range of possibilities for other fuel value seeking customers in the market for large cars.

There is also an engine of 1.6 and 2.0 liter Duratec gasoline - the latter also provide a version of flexible fuel vehicles, capable of using each fuel, a mixture of normal gasoline with bioethanol E85 - classes offers power 120 hp (88 kW) and 145 hp (107), combined with 5-speed manual transmission. The details of these engines are the technical specifications section.

More to come

most exciting engines - including engines displacing over 1.6-liter Duratorq TDCi Ford EcoBoost and families - will be available for the new Ford Mondeo shortly. Additional information will be available closer to launch.

Ford ECOnetic technology - fuel economy and less CO2

After launching its first dedicated auto high economy in 2007 - the Focus ECOnetic - Ford has always ensured that the main technologies applied to ECOnetic range of vehicles are also more widely available to customers who opt for the regular version, but want to reach the lowest carbon footprint in their cars. To that end, Ford presented its technology program Ford ECOnetic, which clearly identifies the characteristics of customers may choose to have a beneficial impact on fuel economy and emissions.

The new Ford Mondeo Ford ECOnetic range includes two innovative technologies that have already been launched in recent Focus ECOnetic. Intelligent charging system and Ford Eco Mode is standard on all new Ford Mondeo range.

extensive experience in Ford's aerodynamic detail has also led to a second feature Ford ECOnetic technology made its debut in the European series of Ford's new Mondeo - Active Matrix Shutter technology.

New shutter active matrix

Based on his experience in aerodynamic aids such as punching grille covers dedicated Ford ECOnetic models, Ford has reached another technological "first" through a significant benefit from the cooling mask Active Shutter for the first time in series production car .

The new Ford Mondeo Active Shutter Grille is located in front of the radiator on the front bumper beam and opens and closes to a maximum of 15 degrees at six different positions of additional steps, changing both the resistance of the total air vehicle and powertrain cooling level. Active Matrix fully closed shutter can improve the aerodynamic drag by up to 6 percent.

Optimized for maximum energy efficiency and guaranteed to help warm the engine up to operating temperature more rapidly effective, a control unit keeps the valve closed as long as possible during the first phase. The operating temperatures are continually monitored to ensure that all factors that influence specific - such as high and low speed driving and towing - not creating undesirable temperature variations.

Active Shutter grid will be standard on the new Mondeo, the 2.0-liter or 2.0-liter EcoBoost Duratorq TDCi engines are specified, and will also be applied to other models in the future.

New Smart regenerative charge

Smart regenerative charging system new Mondeo uses advanced technology to ensure that the battery is charging effectively increasing the efficiency of the alternator during braking or deceleration and the conversion of this kinetic energy into electrical energy without using additional fuel.

"Free", electricity is then used to recharge the battery, and can then take the vehicle's electrical system later. Advanced Management System continuously monitors battery status and communicates with the electronics on board to recharge the system more effective enforcement.

Intelligent charging system is standard on all versions of the new Ford Mondeo.

New Ford Eco Mode Driver Information System

Driver and the new Ford Mondeo is not only able to benefit from new equipment technologies to achieve fuel consumption, but also the introduction of the Ford brand Smart mode, focused on software driver, which is standard on all models.

Using algorithms developed from a database of "eco-driving techniques, Ford Eco Mode helps drivers achieve maximum fuel economy in the real world. The new software system is built into the dashboard of the operator and the new Mondeo is designed to provide the driver with useful and realistic eco driving tips.

It controls the main parameters relevant to achieving optimal consumption of fuel can actively contribute to driving. These include, for example, changing gears, the driver's anticipation (of transport activity in a consistent and smooth as possible) the highway, and (the guide is the most efficient speed for all conditions). The system also controls less efficient short trips in cold start to the processing of data.

Accordingly, the Ford Eco Fashion driver with a particular current "score" and provides information on how to improve fuel economy over time. This is an ongoing process that the driver can use to maximize the range of the car's technology edge.

Ford PowerShift: simple and effective

Ford PowerShift is standard on the new Ford Mondeo, 203 or 240 Engine 2.0-liter EcoBoost - to provide an advanced combination that offers a new level of fuel efficiency and low CO2, but shows that driving pleasure does not needs to lead to high levels of CO2 emissions. Ford PowerShift is also an optional 140 and 163 hp versions of the 2.0-liter Duratorq TDCi common-rail turbo-diesel.

Getrag Ford Transmissions GmbH developed by, Ford and GETRAG 50:50 joint venture, Ford Powershift consists of two layshaft transmissions working in parallel, each with its own wet clutch unit. Thanks for the look of your trees Intermediate - a march wearing odd 1, 3 and 5, as well as others', including Gears 2, 4 and 6 -. Next, the gear changes can be made in advance by selecting and moving to the next gear speed change will be further questioned the activation of both clutches, that coordinate pair to avoid the suspension.

Unlike conventional automatic transmissions, the basic technical configuration of the Ford PowerShift transmission offers numerous advantages. For example, does not require any complex sub-systems such as torque converters, planetary gears provides multiple clutches and multiple bands - all of which significantly reduce gearbox efficiency, increasing the inertia and drag torque effects.

Certified fuel economy data for 203 and 240 hp 2.0-liter engine paired with Ford's EcoBoost power shift Ford, clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of a powertrain combination with modern automatic transmission can be. The new Mondeo in this state of advanced powertrains offers a combined fuel economy of only 7.7 l/100 km (36.6 mpg) and a level of average CO2 emission of just 179 g / km. Combining Duratorq TDCi (140 or 163 hp) and Ford Powershift, generates an even more impressive fuel of only 5.6 l/100 km (50.4 mpg), with an emission level of CO2 an average of just 149 g / km.

Drivers with the Ford PowerShift is simple and easy as a conventional automatic gearbox with automatic gearbox in the center console and the usual P, R, N and D settings available. In addition, the establishment of regular, sport and manual can be selected by moving the exchange rate right and another near the station.
