2011 Ford Vertrek<\/h1>\n
\n

DETROIT, Jan. 10, 2011 \u2013 Ford Motor Company today unveiled its vision for a sleeker, sportier and more stylish compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) at the 2011 North American International Auto Show. The Ford Vertrek concept previews the company\u2019s ambition for a next-generation, global compact SUV that could lead the industry in both design and fuel efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ford Vertrek concept is based on Ford\u2019s global C-segment platform, which includes the all-new Ford Focus range launching early in 2011 in North America and Europe, plus the latest C-MAX and Grand C-MAX multi-activity vehicles. It represents the vision of the company\u2019s top design and engineering talent on how best to attract and satisfy future sport utility vehicle customers around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cVertrek concept is a no-compromise solution we feel utility vehicle customers will embrace around the world,\u201d said Derrick Kuzak, Ford group vice president of Global Product Development. \u201cIt is a revolution compared to what is typically seen in this segment in North America and is a stylish evolution compared with products outside North America. This new design is sleeker and more fuel efficient and delivers the capability, including people and cargo volume, customers demand globally.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ford Vertrek concept combines the best of Ford\u2019s distinctive European kinetic design styling and driving quality with outstanding levels of cargo space, trailer-tow and off-road capability for North America, promising a vehicle that meets the needs of next-generation compact utility vehicle customers around the world.<\/p>\n

The sleek appearance of the Ford Vertrek concept has been honed aerodynamically to help support the program target of class-leading fuel economy and low CO2 emissions and complement the high-tech powertrain solutions Ford envisions.<\/p>\n

Ford preliminary data show that a production vehicle based around the Vertrek concept would be at least 5 percent more aerodynamically efficient than current comparable Ford North American and European models, such as the Escape and Kuga.<\/p>\n

Global solution for global needs
\nFord\u2019s global C-segment platform allows for the efficient creation of vehicles that address consumer tastes around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cCustomer demands are converging globally toward a compact sport utility vehicle that is stylish and great fun to drive while at the same time providing the package, capability, engaging technology and fuel economy they expect,\u201d said Jim Farley, group vice president, Global Marketing, Sales and Service. \u201cThe Ford Vertrek concept will allow us to hear directly from these customers about trade-offs they are prepared to make as we look to deliver a future production model that brings to life all these attributes.\u201d<\/p>\n

At least 10 new models will be built on the new global C-segment platform, which replaces three platforms currently in production regionally. By 2012, the new platform will account for more than 2 million units of sales, providing Ford with unprecedented economies of scale and an opportunity to offer customers around the world an array of new technologies and product features usually reserved for premium vehicles.<\/p>\n

The compact sport utility vehicle segment is one of the largest (consistently in the top five), most competitive and fastest growing segments \u2013 more than doubling in market share since 2000 \u2013 in the U.S. It also ranks among the top four most cross-shopped segments in the U.S. It is a segment that Ford helped pioneer with the popular Escape model.<\/p>\n

Growth in Europe of crossover products, similar to the compact sport utility vehicle segment in the U.S., has been astounding \u2013 up more than 200 percent since 2000. The Ford Kuga has consistently ranked third in its segment, in which all major manufacturers compete, since its launch in 2008. Nearly 70 percent of Kuga customers opt for the high series.<\/p>\n

Globally, the compact SUV segment has shown growth since 2009, led by China and the U.S. The market in China is projected to increase 60 percent by 2011 compared with 2009.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis segment is uniquely diversified across the globe,\u201d said Farley. \u201cIn the U.S. these are considered small cars, while in Europe and other markets they are considered midsize cars. No matter how you classify it, the segment is vitally important and only those manufacturers who demonstrate leadership in design, customer-focused technology, capability and fuel-efficient performance will succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kinetic design taken to the next level
\nThe sporty, sleek Ford Vertrek concept builds on Ford\u2019s global kinetic design philosophy. This distinctive and continually evolving design language is rooted in creating cars that appear to be in motion even when stationary, while at the same time communicating the engaging driving experience that Ford cars deliver.<\/p>\n

The starting point is creating an athletic stance for the vehicle, almost like a runner in starting blocks poised and ready to burst forward. Other key elements include dynamic lines and taut surfacing, again conveying muscularity and athleticism.<\/p>\n

Vertrek concept builds on these kinetic design fundamentals, underscoring its on-road characteristics and off-road capability.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ford Vertrek concept is inspired by contemporary compact sport utility customers\u2019 expectations and aspirations,\u201d said J Mays, group vice president, Design, and chief creative officer. \u201cIt unites stylish design, world-class craftsmanship and outstanding capability to present a fresh vision that we believe will resonate globally.\u201d<\/p>\n

High-tech gasoline and diesel powertrain solutions
\nThe Ford Vertrek concept shows how the vision of a next-generation, fuel-efficient compact SUV could become reality by extending the reach of the company\u2019s growing EcoBoost\u2122 engine and advanced turbo diesel common-rail direct-injection (TDCi) engine families while introducing Ford Auto Start-Stop technology.<\/p>\n

EcoBoost is fundamental to Ford\u2019s strategy to provide technologically advanced, high-output, smaller-displacement powertrains that deliver uncompromised performance and fuel economy. Ford EcoBoost engines deliver fuel economy gains of up to 20 percent and reduction of CO2 emissions of up to 15 percent, compared with larger, less-efficient engines.<\/p>\n

In addition to turbocharging with direct injection, Ford powertrain engineers have enhanced EcoBoost\u2019s technology capabilities by adding variable valve timing and precisely controlling all aspects of the engine. Ford has at least 125 patents on its EcoBoost technology.<\/p>\n

Ford Vertrek concept features the highly efficient 1.6-liter four-cylinder Ford EcoBoost engine, giving the vehicle the power of a larger engine yet delivering significantly better fuel economy and CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n

By 2013, 80 percent of Ford\u2019s global nameplates and 90 percent of Ford\u2019s North American nameplates will have an EcoBoost option.<\/p>\n

Advanced diesel engines
\nOutside the U.S., Ford also offers customers a wide range of efficient and powerful Duratorq\u00ae TDCi engines, many of which could be applied to a future production model based on the Vertrek concept. Advanced diesel technology is especially vital in Europe \u2013 96 percent of Kugas sold are diesel-powered.<\/p>\n

The acclaimed 2.0-liter Ford Duratorq TDCi engine has recently been upgraded to deliver even higher efficiency with improved performance, fuel economy and refinement.<\/p>\n

A more efficient combustion system enables greater peak power, significantly improved driveability with increased responsiveness and more pulling power at low engine speeds. It also delivers reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Depending on application, CO2 emissions are reduced by up to 7 percent compared to the previous 2.0-liter Duratorq TDCi engine.<\/p>\n

Paired with the engine will be a fuel-saving six-speed transmission. By 2013, 100 percent of Ford vehicles in the U.S. will incorporate a six-speed transmission as part of the company\u2019s commitment to leadership in fuel-economy performance in all vehicle segments.<\/p>\n

Automatic shutdown of engine saves fuel
\nAnother key enabler of enhanced fuel efficiency is the Ford Auto Start-Stop system. This system automatically shuts down the engine when the vehicle is at idle \u2013 at a stoplight, for example \u2013 and quickly restarts the engine when the driver wants to move off.<\/p>\n

An Auto Start-Stop system can reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 5 percent in mixed driving conditions. In city driving and in heavy traffic with frequent stops, the savings could increase to as much as 10 percent.<\/p>\n

The advanced new Ford Auto Start-Stop system has been carefully designed with customer comfort in mind, providing consistent starting and stopping performance that is smooth, quiet and seamless, requiring no changes in driver behavior. When the engine shuts down, the electronic control unit immediately prepares the engine\u2019s systems for an instant restart. An integrated system of sensors is then used to detect when the driver performs an action that signals the intent to drive off, such as pressing the accelerator or clutch pedal.<\/p>\n

As soon as the driver prepares to move away, the engine starts quietly and almost instantly; it takes the system only around 0.3 second to fire up the engine. The process is near imperceptible and happens before gear selection is completed. To support the increased number of engine starts, the starter motor is upgraded with a high-performance electric motor and a stronger pinion-engagement mechanism with reduced noise levels.<\/p>\n

Smart Regenerative Charging
\nAdvanced battery technology is required to ensure the main vehicle battery copes with the frequent charge-discharge cycles common with start-stop operation. Additional technologies ensure the battery is kept charged in the most efficient way.<\/p>\n

A Smart Regenerative Charging system increases the alternator output when the vehicle brakes or decelerates. This converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electric energy without using additional fuel.<\/p>\n

The \u201cfree\u201d electric current is used to recharge the battery, so it can be used by the electrical systems at a later stage. This could be when the engine is switched off during a stop phase but also can be when the generator is operating in a less-efficient mode.<\/p>\n

The battery has an advanced management system that continually monitors its status and communicates with the Ford Auto Start-Stop system, so that the regenerative charging feature can charge the battery in the optimal way. The Auto Start-Stop system knows how much battery charge is available, so that it can leave the engine running if the battery does not have a sufficient level of charge.<\/p>\n
