COLOGNE, Germany – Ford of Europe is revealing an unprecedented variety of new models, technologies and innovations during 2010, further strengthening its portfolio and delivering affordable, state-of-the art features focused on fuel economy, safety, and driver comfort and convenience.
Just two weeks into 2010 Ford has already revealed a new, global Ford Focus at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, and significantly improved new Ford S-MAX and Galaxy models at the European Motor Show in Brussels.
These new models – and the 2010 Ford C-MAX and Grand C-MAX previewed at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show – introduce an exciting range of new features and innovations to the Ford range, including advanced powertrains and the latest vehicle and safety technologies.
“Ford has a very busy year in 2010, and the new Focus, S-MAX and Galaxy models we have just revealed are just the start of the story,” said Ford of Europe chairman and CEO, John Fleming. “These new models, along with the C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, bring a wealth of innovative features into the Ford of Europe range, providing our customers with unprecedented levels of performance, sophistication and value.”
The range and breadth of new features and technologies being introduced in Ford of Europe’s new models starting in 2010 is virtually unprecedented in the company’s history.
“We have never introduced such a tremendous wealth of new technical features and powertrains in a single year”, Fleming said. “Our transformation to a more global company under the ONE Ford initiative has enabled us to harness all of the company’s worldwide design and product development resources. This has made it possible to advance significantly the level of technology available across Ford of Europe’s next generation medium and large cars.”
The customer-focused technologies coming to Ford of Europe’s new models cover all areas, from efficient new powertrains to innovative features for active safety and driver assistance, from new levels of intuitive driver connectivity to premium in-car entertainment and enhanced comfort.
