Ford Has Gone Green

Ford is embracing the eco-friendly trend and stepping up to the plate by creating new vehicles that use the latest in green technology in order to fulfill it’s vision of being a leader in producing fuel efficient vehicles that help keep the planet safe and save you money. This year Ford is introducing several new vehicles that meet these goals.

First up is the Fusion Hybrid which features the newest in lithium-ion battery technology. With it’s third generation hybrid system, it can reach speeds of up to 60 miles per hour when driven in all-electric mode on the highway. It gets up to 47 miles per gallon, combined, and includes built-in real-time data that helps to improve fuel efficiency. Additionally, it’s won accolades as the greenest car in Canada.

The Fusion Energi is a hybrid that can drive, battery powered, for up to 20 miles. So if your trips are short, there’s no need to be stopping in at the pump on a regular basis. In fact, you can go more than 600 miles on one tank of fuel, which means that many people will only have to visit the gas station just once a month. To recharge the Energi, plug it in to a standard electrical socket for four hours to get a full charge. In addition to allowing your money to stay in your bank account, Ford has done its part to save the planet with its innovative design of this vehicle. Among the materials used in this car, there are over 24 pounds of recycled plastic, fabric and metal. Additionally, the car’s organic seat foam is made of soybeans, which saves more than 600,000 gallons of oil each year the vehicle is manufactured.
