accessories function normally when

engine is off

•12V enhanced starter motor

provides quick, quiet and seamless engine

starts once driver removes foot from

brake pedal

• Fuel economy gains of as much as 10 percent in city driving

• Vehicle emits zero emissions when stopped

• Vehicle remains warm or cool even when engine is off

• System is smooth, quiet and seamless

• No additional maintenance is required

•Top five benefits of Auto Start-Stop:

Powertrain Technologies: Auto Start-Stop

Coming to North American cars, crossovers, and utilities starting in 2012, the Auto Start-Stop system has been designed to work with conventional gasoline-powered vehicles with automatic and manual transmissions.

Active Grill Shutters

•Installed in both Grill and Bumper

opening

•Installed in Grill opening only

•How it works:• Reduce drag coefficient by closing the opening in front of

the radiator with electrically controlled vents under

certain conditions.

•How it improves fuel consumption:• Improved coefficient of drag (Cd)

• Reduces work done overcoming aerodynamic losses at speeds > 30 mph. • Shutters may open on braking decelerations to cool without penalty if there is a cooling need.

• Faster engine warm-up

• Improves fuel economy as well as heater/defrost • performance• Reduces parasitic losses from cold fluids during engine • warm-up• Reduces other parasitic loads used to warm engine • coolant (higher idle speeds and shift delays).

9

Aggressive Decel Fuel Shutoff

How it works:

• Shut-off fuel during deceleration events and realize F.E. benefit

• Maintain engine speed with torque management and engine/trans • strategies and converter management

• Catalyst O2 regeneration strategy applied to manage NOx emission • when fuel is turned on.

How it improves fuel consumption:• Reduces Fuel Consumption during Decel events.

The Payoff: Ford Flex Fuel Vehicles

• U.S. ethanol production increased 8-fold over the past decade, and accounts for approximately 10% of gasoline sold in the U.S.; it is projected to nearly double over the next decade.

• Ford Flex Fuel Vehicles include:

− Escape

− Fusion

− F-150

− Expedition

− E-Series

− Lincoln Navigator

− Super Duty

− New models to be added in 2012

Ford offers a wide range of Flex-Fuel products which satisfy consumer needs while utilizing a full range of ethanol-containing fuels (incl. E85)

available in the U.S. 17

A Ford Perspective/Approach

Ford’s Sustainability Report

More about Climate Change corporate.ford.com/go/sustainability

Summary

• The Ford plan is based on product and operational excellence and requires people working together as lean, global enterprise.

• Balancing market and regulatory drivers for improved fuel efficiency and lowering CO2 while also meeting more restrictive standards for criteria emissions is one of our greatest challenges.

• Technology innovation is used as differentiator. Feature content and technologies that improve comfort and convenience, safety and fuel efficiency will continue to be increasingly important in all markets.

• Sustainable technology must be affordable for millions of customers

• Ford has established, and continues to develop, a comprehensive portfolio of technologies to improve efficiency and reduce weight.

• EcoBoost is being migrated widely in lieu of larger conventional engines, offering increased fuel economy at comparable or improved performance.

• Ford will offer a complete array of hybrid and electric vehicle choices that over time will contribute on a volume basis.
