Ford to hire 7,000 thanks to hybrids and electric vehicles

From the Detroit Free Press: Ford Motor will today announce that it is on course to add 7,000 new jobs through the end of next year, according to a person familiar with the planning.

Of those jobs, 1,800 have already been announced for Ford's Louisville plant, where the Ford Escape SUV is built, and another 2,200 blue-collar jobs and 750 salaried jobs will come by year's end.
Another 2,000 jobs will come next year.

The move comes as Ford puts the finishing touches on its 2006 Way Forward turnaround and begins a period of expansion. Ford is expected to post a profit of $8.2 billion for 2010 and sales are stronger than they have been in years. Sales were up 19.5% last year.

The automaker is also planning to embark on an aggressive strategy to expand its fuel-efficient car models, with a new emphasis on plug-in hybrids and all-electric cars.

"We are going to have, clearly, the most comprehensive electrification strategy available," Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally told the Free Press in a recent interview.

Today at the 2011 North American International Auto Show, Ford is to show off plug-in hybrid and gasoline hybrid versions of its C-Max, a minivan coming to the U.S. from Europe in 2012, as well as a battery-powered Focus Electric compact car.

James Tetreault, Ford's vice president of North American manufacturing, said he expects to add a third shift to Ford's Wayne assembly plant where those models are built by 2012, bringing the workforce to 4,400 from 3,200 today.

Customers, Pick Your Fuel

While Ford might be behind some rivals in offering mainstream electric cars -- a market it will enter later this year with the Focus Electric compact -- the Dearborn automaker has taken a deliberately different tack.

Already the No. 1 domestic seller of hybrids, Ford plans to promote the wide variety of fuel-efficient models across its lineup, stressing the words "choice" and "family of electric vehicles."

Ford is planning to launch five hybrid, plug-in or battery-powered cars in North America by 2012, and it already sells several others.

VIDEO: Ford Focus Electric is unveiled in Las Vegas

From the Autoblog: The Focus Electric is powered by 100-kilowatt electric motor with a 23-kWh battery, capable of producing 123 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque at its peak.

Ford says its EV can reach a top speed of 84 miles per hour, and while the official range hasn't been disclosed just yet, we're told it should be able to travel up to 100 miles on a single charge (just like the Leaf).

Speaking of charging, Ford says the Focus Electric can be fully charged in just three hours from its 240-volt home-installed charging station, though the car will take up to 20 hours to charge via a standard 120-volt outlet.

Ford Fiesta 2011 Specs And Features

Ford Fiesta 2011 is a 4-door, 5 passenger family sedan or wagon, available in 5 trims, ranging from the Sedan S Hatchback SES. Upon introduction, both motifs are equipped with a standard 119-horsepower 1.6-liter, I4, which achieves 28 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional.

Fiesta gets the most out of every corner, thanks to the technical precision only a Ford-tuned suspension can offer. Taking on straightaways is a smooth affair, too, when you combine electric power-assisted steering with the proprietary Ford invention, active nibble control. Covert aerodynamic design and critical technology such as the class-exclusive PowerShift six-speed automatic and 1.6L Ti-VCT Duratec® I4 engine with twin-independent variable cam timing make it a responsive and fuel-responsible driving experience.

Rapid-fire shifting is enhanced by a powertrain control module making real-time adjustments, producing efficient mobility. Fiesta also boasts many aerodynamic design characteristics that help minimize air resistance and increase fuel efficiency, such as the aero-shaped body-mounted mirrors and the line cut into the rear taillamps. The optional Super Fuel Economy Package offers additional aerodynamic details such as underbody shields and blockers on the lower grille.

Fiesta is designed to amplify the anticipation of the drive and physically engage your senses. Thoughtful design cues like the class-exclusive* 4" multifunctional LCD display screen and cell phone-inspired center console with cascading buttons are pleasing to the eyes and the touch. Available features such as front heated leather-trimmed seats, SYNC® in-car connectivity system and Intelligent Access with push-button start reinforce that Fiesta is a choice, not a compromise.

The safety advancements in the 2011 Fiesta give you the peace of mind to enjoy the quick and nimble performance that makes Fiesta so much fun to drive. Fiesta provides seven standard air bags-more standard airbags than any other compact cars in its class*- and includes side curtain airbags. There’s even an airbag at the driver’s knees. And here’s another way Fiesta raises the bar on safety: a protective “safety cage” made of boron - an element so strong it’s used in the aerospace industry- surrounds both driver and passengers.

Fiesta has no qualms about standing out, starting at the front end with a three-bar grille and distinctive dragon’s-eye headlamps. A razor-slash side panel highlights the car’s cut-and-run stance, while the upswept rear end makes it look like it’s ready to launch. Available ambient lighting and available bright metallic accents create a radiant glow that surrounds the interior, and unique exterior colors emphasize Fiesta’s effervescent personality bubbling to the surface.

2011 Ford Ranger will eventually be marketed in 180 countries

Although not planned for introduction in the United States or Canada, the all-new Ford Ranger will eventually be marketed in 180 countries, making it one of Ford's farthest reaching products. This reflects the importance of compact pickup trucks to consumers in many parts of the world and the significance of the Ranger in Ford's global product portfolio.

The new side curtain air bags have not yet received a crash test rating, and the rear jump seats are not considered to be particularly safe. Ranger received a 3 out of 5 rollover resistance rating, which is comparable to other trucks in its class. Since 1998 the Ranger has received an acceptable rating from the IIHS, and the 2010 model is no exception. The IIHS gives the Ranger an acceptable crash offset rating, which is the second highest rating on its four rating scale. The Ranger has not been bumper bash or rear side impact tested by the NHTSA.

the 2011 Ford Focus pricing

The mission to capture a wider audience (read the Corolla and Civic crowd) also warranted a more 'mature' interior design. The judicious application of 'wood' of a subtle shade, two-tone colour scheme mid smattering of brushed aluminum accents on the Focus cabin is right on I lie money and tastefully executed. The quality is generally good as well, though some plastics aren't quite Japanese slick (such as the air-con vent flaps and switchgear), but the four-spoke leather steering is good to grip, while the main controls are laid out logically and easy to master. The amenities and equipment list is also generous and thoroughly contemporary, courtesy of the 'Ghia' specs. There's a useful trip computer, a CD player that stacks six, accompanied by satellite controls on the steering column, a dual-zone automatic climate control system with rear air-con vents, clever little cubby holes front and back, a rear bench that folds flat.

Pricing
As far as the pricing goes, the 2010 Ford Focus is quite affordable, and it falls in the range of $15,995 - $18,485. This means even the top end version with additional accessories will cost you less than $20,000; so what are you waiting for? Go grab it!

2012 The Ford-Focus Electric

Fast forward to last month's media preview in Thailand and let's just say the sigh of relief was all too palpable when the curtains were drawn. It's telling how minor aesthetic tweaks can significantly alter the appeal of a car. No, the Focus still isn't gorgeous, but with the Asia-specific clear lens tail-lamps and chromed grille, it is much more palatable, attractive almost. If you have already gotten the cheque book out, then the optional body-kit (as seen on our test car) is a must have, it adorns the Focus with much-needed presence. Ford officials did point out that while the previous generation focus captured the imagination of many, its controversial styling divided opinions, it would seem the risk of alienating the masses was just too big a gamble.

1998 marked the entry of the Ford Focus in the auto market and 2010 witnesses the standards it has set. In a class of its own, a high end, precision engineering has brought the Focus up in the performance sect, which, according to common belief, must also set the standards high for the Ford Focus insurance. However, the truth is, protecting the vehicle in all aspects of it need not come expensive. The secret lies in selecting the correct Ford Focus insurance options - those that are absolutely required and a few more to buffer. Chosen right, they reduce the premiums greatly.

2012 The Ford Mustang Boss 302 Mustang was derived from the Falcon

The company's designers added distinctive black accents to various body parts (mirrors, roof and spoiler) and Citic Dicastal 10-spoke wheels, also painted black. Inside, Recaro buckets with embroidered Grabber Blue “Boss 302” inscriptions and other chromatic touches set this car apart.The Laguna Seca package comes with upgraded suspension, chassis and aerodynamic kit, turning the 2012 Mustang Boss 302 into a ready-to-race muscle car. According to Ford, the Laguna Seca can easily reach 1.03 lateral Gs, while also featuring shorter stopping distances and faster acceleration times compared to the regular Boss 302.

1964 was the banner year that Ford Motors unveiled a new breed of car at the World's Fair in New York. With the belief that a small sports car would be the next hot ticket, Ford made strides to make it one of their automobiles. Understanding that true success would come with volume sales, a two-seat design was dropped and Ford introduced the 1965 Mustang based on the Falcon with numerous options to give buyers the opportunity to customize their purchase. At the base price of $2,320, the Mustang racked up over 22,000 in sales its first day, 417,000 in the first year and surpassed the one million mark in March of 1966. The attention was now on the pony car, and is the only class of muscle car that still exists today. The Ford Mustang is the only original pony car to remain in uninterrupted production.

2011 The The Ford Mondeo has been a very successful car for Ford

Originally, Ford Mondeo came in three different major models-a four door, a five door with hatchback and a five door estate. When the car was launched in 1993, its purpose was to replace Ford Sierra, especially in the European markets. In addition, it was meant to replace the Telstar in Asia.

Ford Mondeo is a front wheel (unless otherwise specified) drive vehicle and is typically available in either manual or automatic transmission. In its heyday, the car was a completely new design, unlike any other car Ford had ever built, including the Sierra-as a replacement, it was meant to be nothing like the car being replaced. Mondeo was the first car in history to be sold with standard side airbags, along with many other safety features including seat belt pretensioners, side-impact bars, a driver's airbag, traction control and self-leveling suspension.

2011 Ford Mondeo Images

The Ford Mondeo has been a very successful car for Ford. The Mondeo hasn't purely been a success in the UK it has also been a very popular around the world. This is mainly because it is one of the most practical cars on the market but still looks stylish to drive. The car is practical because of its comfortable interior and the amount of space it has in the rear and boot of the car. The Mondeo is also great value for money and is priced lower than many of its competitors offering similar comfort and size as other saloons available for much higher prices.

Ford has also managed to keep the Ford Mondeo up to date particularly with the chassis and interior redesign in order to continually remain refreshed which has enabled the continuation of successful number of sales around the world. Ford has also created 3 different model specifications in order to increase the number choice available to potential consumers. The Ford Mondeo Edge is Ford's basic model but it still includes a number of features which include Headlight courtesy delay, Cruise control Air conditioning, Advanced Bluetooth with Voice Control System, CD/radio, Intelligent Protection System including driver's knee airbag, Trip computer, Leather-wrapped steering wheel, and Quickclear heated windscreen.

2011 Ford Mondeo Coming with New Angine

Although Ford Mondeo was put into the same class as Contour and Mercury Mystique as a "world car", it does not necessarily share the features that have classified its sisters as world cars in the past. For instance, Ford Mondeo does not feature front mirrors and door handles like those on the Contour, or the windscreen. In fact, the Mondeo is less like a world car, than newer models like the Ford Focus and the Mk. 6 Ford Fiesta, which both fit the bill much better in terms of being a "world car".

2011 Ford Mondeo Official Pictures

The middle of the range Mondeo is the Zetec which includes the same features as the Edge basic model. In addition to these features the interior includes chrome and leather style gear knob and seats, 16" alloy wheels and front and rear powered windows. The top of the range model is the Ford Mondeo Ghia. The features of this top of the range Mondeo include wood effect interior, floor mats, ambient interior lighting and most importantly the Sony 6CD DAB audio system.

2010 Ford GT90 Super Sport Car Concept going to auction

2010 Ford GT90 Super Sport Car Concept

If Ford first introduced the GT90 Concept at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show next month, it would still be one of the most eyecatching cars on the show floor. What's amazing is that Ford unveiled the GT40 successor nearly 15 years ago. What's more, even by today's standards it's still a supercar among supercars.

The quad-turbocharged 6.0-litre V12 puts out an estimated 720 horsepower, the body is constructed completely of carbon fiber and top speed is somewhere in the 400 kph range. The only hints that it's not a modern supercar are the all-blue interior and wheels that look dated now.

So what's all the fuss about the GT90 Concept now? RM Auctions in the States has just announced that it will be offering the concept car at its upcoming Arizona sale. That's right, this is your chance to own one of the coolest concept vehicles of all time. This is the first time that the GT90 Concept has ever been publicly for sale at auction, and RM claims that it is in "excellent running condition, having been properly stored and maintained over the year." No estimated on price is given, but we're guessing it will take a large suitcase of cash to take the car home.

2010 Ford GT90 Super Sport Car Concept

The one-off GT90 Concept Car, labeled immediately as "the world's mightiest supercar" by Ford Motor Company on December 6, 1994, was the spiritual successor to the Ford GT40, the product of a colossal feud in the early 1960s between the Blue Oval from Dearborn and the Prancing Horse of Northern Italy. The GT90 draws from the design cues of its heritage and pays homage to the famed Le Mans-winning Ford GT40s of the 1960s, which were created after the failed attempt by Ford to buy out Ferrari.
At a development cost in the neighborhood of $3 million, the GT90 was certainly worthy of pulling styling cues from the original Ford GTs, and although it was never meant for production, it was built according to a Ford press release as a "test bed for technology, engineering and design concepts, and driver-oriented features that eventually may be used in Ford production vehicles."

Officially unveiled to the public in January 1995 at the Detroit Auto Show, the GT90 is finished in bright white with a bright blue and carbon fiber interior. It features a mid engine quad-turbocharged V12 that produces an estimated 720 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque. As a result, it had a claimed top speed of 253 mph, which even by today's standards would make it one of the fastest production cars in the world – faster even than a McLaren F1, which was widely considered the world's preeminent supercar at the time.

2010 Ford GT90 Super Sport Car Concept

The engine, which was a 48-valve six-liter V12, had to be combined together with four Garrett Systems T2 turbochargers in order to reach its estimated 720 horsepower and was based on the Ford Modular engine. Created by using parts of two Lincoln V8 engines, engineers removed the last pair of cylinders from the rear of one engine and the first pair of cylinders from the front of the other engine. The cut-down engines were then welded together with the final result being a 90-degree V12, which utilized a 90.2 mm bore and a 77.3 mm stroke to achieve maximum power.

The GT90 features the FFD-Ricardo five-speed manual gearbox found on the XJ220 and, considering the torque load that it is designed to handle, is noted as having a relatively light shift quality. Also borrowed from the XJ220 comes the all around double wishbone suspension that was designed to enable the car to handle well at top speeds.

2010 Ford GT90 Super Sport Car Concept

Using Ford's new "Edge" design philosophy, the car incorporated advanced technology with a mixture of flat planes, angles, glass and triangular shapes that seemingly all collided together. The GT90 was the first car created using this new styling directive from Ford, which went on to be responsible for the creation of other Ford products like the Ka and Cougar. The effect is most impressive and a wonderfully executed stylistic throwback to its GT40 predecessor, which at once stays true to its heritage but acknowledges the advances in modern design. Taken directly from race car technology, the GT90 body panels are molded out of carbon fiber while the chassis is formed out of a honey-comb sectioned aluminum monocoque.

The GT90 is a test bed of advanced technology and design. It sports a tinted, laminated glass bubble over the cockpit and a spoiler that rises off the rear deck at high speeds. According to Ford, it has a "design that tightly enclosed its mechanicals with no wasted space; high tech lighting and blind-spot detection systems; and tiles like those on the space shuttle to shield the V12's exhaust outlets."

2010 Ford GT90 Super Sport Car Concept

After its unveiling in Detroit, the GT90 made its rounds on the Auto Show Circuit in 1995, traveling around the world to Frankfurt and as far away as Tokyo. With few other showings in between, the car recently was shipped over to Europe to be on display in the Ford of Europe 2008 exhibit at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. After returning home, the car was shipped to Alabama where it was on display as part of the Mustang 45th Anniversary Celebration.
This superb concept car remains in excellent running condition, having been properly stored and maintained over the years in between its show appearances. RM Auctions is proud to publicly offer the GT90 for the first time ever at auction. A remarkable one-off piece of automotive history and cutting-edge design, its offering may very well be a once in a lifetime opportunity for Ford devotees and concept car enthusiasts.
