Prioritize the rights of consumers in the heart of future strategy, Ford wanted to show how to combine the four pillars of Quality, Green, Safe and Smart became a model of the future, prioritize the needs of consumers right in the heart of the engineering process.
Lommel's usually inaccessible to the media, but this week's Ford opened a test center for European journalists so they can display several electric and hybrid technologies that are being developed, as well as communicate how to integrate IT and smart technology, such as seats that monitors your heart rate, become a future model of car.
Ford also has pioneered the world's first rubber belt to the rear seats deploy in 40 milliseconds. So we must have seat belts in action. Very nice. In addition to this I had the opportunity to use the Park Assist function on the Ford Focus, a new technology is very useful for those like myself who find parallel parking a little nightmare, especially in downtown.
Ford Evos
Ford Evos is a 4-door coupe car which adopted the concept of gullwing. Similar to Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. Only difference SLS AMG only have 2 doors that open upward, but Ford has 4 doors gullwing Evos.
Two rear gullwing doors and out of work for the rear passengers. Yes indeed, Ford Evos itself is designed as a 4-door coupe that can accommodate 4 passengers.
As reported by autoexpress, Monday (05/09/2011) Ford's hybrid technology that is driven Evos are sourced from the energy of lithium-ion battery combined with a capacity of 2,000 cc petrol engine.
Power that can be issued conventional engine is 250 bhp. More than that though Ford hybrid cars could run start Evos claimed 0-100 km / h with a count time of 7 seconds.
PHEV technology is immersed in Ford recognized Evos are very reliable for urban communities. Because with all the contents of a tank full of gasoline and battery, the car can reach a distance of 500 km.
Design of J Mays Chairman Ford said the car was an energetic young people. "Ford Evos very young children sustain an energetic and dynamic, who always wanted to move like Evos design today," he said.
I forget to tell you little secreat location to test the Ford output. Sure! The secret location of Lommel for vehicle testing located on 322 acres, and surrounded by lush, green forests to banish out of a spy photographer, Lommel has 80km test track, ranging from dirt roads to high-speed oval. Lommel offers 17 test tracks so engineers can carry out high-speed handling maneuvers. This facility employs 70 engineers, 300 support staff and it will be between 35 and 100 visiting engineers from other Ford facilities every day.
Upon entering you pass basic prototype vehicles disguised to protect them from being recognized. Lommel facility itself was opened in 1965. So good is the road test for a car that other car companies sometimes lease corrosion resistance tracks and facilities to test their own vehicles.
It is operating 24 / 7 in Lommel, where engineers work in shifts to keep testing the prototype in harsh conditions, driving Ford vehicles with a top speed in excess of any type of road surface. Annual mileage testing six million miles.
What do you think of that. It's wonderful when you attend and test the Ford Evos prototype? I hope someday I can visit the place and I can tell my friend about how sophisticated the secret of location testing, especially all Ford products, including Ford Evos.
