<div></div>
<div><strong>DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 14, 2011</strong> – The all-new, gasoline-free <a class="zem_slink" title="Ford Focus (international)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Focus_%28international%29" rel="wikipedia">Ford Focus</a> Electric is the company’s first-ever all-electric passenger car – a zero-CO<sub>2</sub>-emissions version of <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a>’s popular small car expected to be the first of its kind to achieve the equivalent of a 100 miles per gallon fuel efficiency rating with seating for five.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Focus Electric is the flagship of <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a>’s transformed lineup, one-third of which will feature a model with 40 mpg or more in 2012, building on the company’s commitment to give fuel-efficiency-minded customers the Power of Choice.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Focus Electric also is the first all-electric vehicle to feature faster charging technology, allowing it to fully recharge in three to four hours – half the time of Nissan Leaf. This technology can help double the car’s range during a busy day of driving and recharging multiple times.</div>
<div></div>
<div>“Focus Electric’s innovative faster charging technology can help customers save money and get much more out of the car in a busy day of running around town and recharging between stops,” said Sherif Marakby, director of <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a>’s Electrification Programs and Engineering. “We also are pleased the Focus Electric will break the 100 MPGe mark – a great symbol of how <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> has transformed its fleet with many vehicles delivering leading fuel economy and efficiency.”</div>
<div></div>
<div>With 20 years of <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> research and innovation behind electrified vehicle software and hardware technology, the company offers proven engineering and design with Focus Electric. <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> holds approximately 500 patents, with several hundred patent-pending applications on technologies used in the new Focus Electric and its other electrified vehicles.</div>

<p><strong><a class="zem_slink" title="Los Angeles" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=34.05,-118.25&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=34.05,-118.25 (Los%20Angeles)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">LOS ANGELES</a>, Nov. 16, 2011</strong> – The all-new Escape might be the most helpful vehicle ever produced by <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a>. Using the most hands-free technology ever offered in a <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a>, the new Escape helps customers load or unload gear through the rear hatch without fumbling for a key, stay connected, parallel park and avoid a collision in a parking lot.</p>
<p>Plus, on the road, the all-new <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a>-engineered Intelligent 4WD System helps deliver outstanding handling and excellent traction off-road when drivers want to leave the pavement.</p>
<p>Additionally, exclusive technologies that no competitor can match to automatically slow the vehicle when cornering too fast (Curve Control) or help accelerate through a turn (Torque Vectoring Control) are joined together for the first time in an <a class="zem_slink" title="Sport utility vehicle" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_utility_vehicle" rel="wikipedia">SUV</a> in the new <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> Escape.</p>
<p>“Customers want technology that makes their lives easier,” said Jason Sprawka, Escape marketing manager. “The new Escape has a wealth of available intuitive technology as well as aids that are completely seamless.”</p>
<p><strong>Getting a kick out of new smart technology</strong><br />
Leading the clever, segment-first customer-focused features for the all-new Escape is the available hands-free power liftgate. A slight kicking motion under the center of the rear bumper activates the system, then unlocks and raises the liftgate.</p>
<p>This allows quick, easy and convenient access to the cargo area without setting down packages or digging out keys to open the rear hatch. The same process closes the hatch as well.</p>

<div>“Mustang stays fresh by keeping pace with everything going on in the tech world,” said Dave Pericak, Mustang chief engineer. “We are taking all the technology people are used to using and finding ways to integrate it into Mustang, based on enthusiasts’ feedback.”</div>
<div>An available new 4.2-inch liquid crystal display (LCD) productivity screen positioned between the tachometer and speedometer helps customers track information related to fuel economy and vehicle performance. The menu is navigated through a five-way button on the steering wheel.</div>
<div>Unique to Mustang’s productivity screen is Track Apps, which delivers performance metrics for drivers who want to put their car to the test at the track.</div>
<div>An accelerometer shows the <em>g</em> force the car is pulling from left to right. Drivers can also track their fastest times with the acceleration timer screen, which offers 0-30 mph, 0-60 mph, 0-100 mph, eighth-mile and quarter-mile. Both an automatic start and a countdown start, complete with <a class="zem_slink" title="Drag racing" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_racing" rel="wikipedia">drag racing</a> start light, are available.</div>
<div>The brake performance screen indicates stopping time and distance for 60-0 or 100-0. The view/clear results screen lets drivers take a look at their top times including their all-time best. They can also review their last results and saved results from the acceleration timer and brake performance screen.</div>
<div>“We took advantage of sensors that are already on the vehicle to give customers information they would have to pay extra for in the aftermarket,” said Jeff Seaman, Mustang launch leader. “They have more data at their fingertips than ever before.”</div>
<div>Using these base menu options, owners can see and customize the following information:</div>

<li>Simpler graphics, faster touch-screen response and easier-to-use controls are among the many enhancements to the voice-activated in-car connectivity system</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 7, 2011</strong> – <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> customers said MyFord Touch® could be faster and feature simpler graphics that are easier to use and that’s exactly what <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> plans to deliver with a broad set of performance upgrades to the system – launching first on the new 2013 <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> Escape, Flex and <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/16/2010-ford-taurus-resale-jumps-39-percent-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Taurus</a>.</p>
<p>Available early next year – and offered at no charge to existing MyFord Touch owners – the software upgrade enhances the ownership experience as it was developed by listening and responding to customer feedback.</p>
<p>“SYNC® has clearly been a game-changing technology and now we’re changing the game again, showing how quickly we can deliver more of what customers really want,” said Graydon Reitz, director, <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> Global Electronics and Electrical Systems Engineering. “Our strategy to create the SYNC software platform and add the customizable screens of MyFord Touch gives us a level of flexibility and speed to respond to customer input like never before seen in the auto industry.</p>
<p>The new touch-screen interface features simpler graphics and controls that are easier to use. Customers will also experience significantly faster touch-screen response times, one of the top requests from owners.</p>
<p>New features include support for tablet devices and Audible.com audiobooks, improved navigation maps and enhanced voice recognition interaction.</p>

<p><strong>DEARBORN</strong><strong>, Mich.</strong><strong>, August 1, 2011 </strong>– <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> is making hands-free, voice-controlled in-car connectivity even more affordable, announcing both a $100 price drop for <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> SYNC® along with expanded availability by offering it as an option on base trim levels for the first time.</p>
<p>“<a class="zem_slink" title="Ford Sync" href="http://www.ford.com/technology/sync/" rel="homepage">Ford SYNC</a> is making a difference. Our customers love it and recommend it, and our dealers want it on more products,” said Ken Czubay, <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service. “SYNC already has brought hands-free, voice-activated in-car connectivity to millions, helping keep drivers’ eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. Now, <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> is making it even easier for customers to afford exactly what they want.”</p>
<p>The move marks the company’s latest push to make <a class="zem_slink" title="Voice command device" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_command_device" rel="wikipedia">voice control</a> the primary and safest way for customers to access their favorite mobile devices while driving – a capability more and more drivers are clamoring for, according to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA).</p>
<p>In a 2010 study, the CEA found that 55 percent of smartphone owners, for example, prefer voice commands as their primary in-car user interface. SYNC users agree, with internal <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> research showing more than 85 percent say they use voice controls while driving, up from 60 percent in previous studies.</p>
<p>This month, <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> became the first automaker to openly support the Safe Drivers Act of 2011, proposed federal legislation for a nationwide ban on the use of hand-held mobile devices while driving. To date, 10 states, including California and <a class="zem_slink" title="New York" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=43.0,-75.0&amp;spn=3.0,3.0&amp;q=43.0,-75.0 (New%20York)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">New York</a>, have legally banned talking on a hand-held cellphone while driving, with many local municipalities also following suit enacting their own set of restrictions. Text messaging while driving is banned in 34 states.</p>
<p>The new SYNC pricing and choice strategy for 2012 ups the ante on how <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> is translating this trend into real-world actions that offer smarter in-vehicle connectivity solutions for customers.</p>

<p>DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 7, 2011 – <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> has released the first software upgrade for SYNC® with MyFord Touch™, helping enhance and expand system compatibility and performance for 2011 <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/17/ford-edge-reaches-400000-sales-introduction-midsize-crossover-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford Edge</a> and Lincoln MKX owners.</p>
<p>“Consumer electronic products and software change fast and frequently to keep up with customer needs and technology trends,” said John Schneider, chief engineer, <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> Multimedia and Infotainment. “A significant benefit of <a title="Ford Sync" rel="wikipedia" href="http://www.ford.com/technology/sync/" target="_blank">Ford SYNC</a> is that it can be updated at the same speed as consumer electronics companies to keep our products and their owners at the forefront of the latest trends in technologies.</p>
<p>“Our owners can expect <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> to continue releasing software upgrades that improve compatibility, add more features and enhance performance, keeping their vehicles and the technologies offered fully up to date,” Schneider added.</p>
<p>The SYNC G2 V1.1 update demonstrates the power of the SYNC open connectivity platform, which was designed and intended for easy upgrades as software evolves. This first update evolved during development of the new 2011 <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> Explorer, which is now on sale and is the next product to feature MyFord Touch.</p>

</ul>
<p>DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 7, 2011 – The new Focus Electric, <a title="Ford Motor" rel="homepage" href="http://www.ford.com/" target="_blank">Ford Motor Company</a>’s first-ever <a title="Battery electric vehicle" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_electric_vehicle" target="_blank">all-electric</a> passenger car, uses a high-tech driver interface to help drivers optimize range and experience the freedom of fuel-free driving.</p>
<p>Using an expansion of the technologies behind <a title="MyFord Touch" href="http://media.ford.com/mini%5Fsites/10031/MyFord/" target="_blank">MyFord Touch™ driver connect technology</a>, the Focus Electric cockpit provides a host of electronic tools to guide drivers, inspire efficient driving, emphasize the performance of Focus Electric and – most importantly – make it easy to live with an electric vehicle (EV).</p>
<p>“Consumers interested in an electric vehicle are more focused on reducing the impact their driving has on the environment,” explained John Schneider, <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> chief engineer for HMI, Driver Controls and Infotainment. “Rather than minimize the realities of battery range and the need for more conscious trip planning in an electric vehicle, we’ve made it a core part of the ownership experience, giving owners the tools to actively manage how they can drive their car based on where they need to go.”</p>

<p>DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 7, 2011 – <a title="Ford Motor" rel="homepage" href="http://www.ford.com/" target="_blank">Ford Motor Company</a> unveiled today its all-new Focus Electric – the company’s first-ever all-electric passenger car. The zero-CO<sub>2</sub>-emissions, gasoline-free version of <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a>’s popular small car is the flagship of the company’s growing fleet of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles coming to North America and Europe by 2013.</p>
<p>“Focus Electric is the flagship of our new family of electrified vehicles, showcasing our commitment to offer consumers choice when it comes to fuel-efficient or fuel-free vehicles,” said Derrick Kuzak, <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> group vice president for Global Product Development. “Its advanced powertrain will deliver significant energy efficiency advantages and zero CO<sub>2</sub> emissions without compromising driving enjoyment. And its suite of smart driver information technologies will transform the way customers think about energy usage and their transportation needs.”</p>
<p>The Focus Electric will launch in late 2011 and is designed to offer enough range to cover the majority of daily driving habits of <a title="United States" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667 (United%20States)&amp;t=h" target="_blank">Americans</a>. It will offer a mile-per-gallon equivalent better than Chevrolet Volt and competitive with other battery electric vehicles.</p>
<p>A full recharge is expected to take three to four hours at home with the 240-volt charge station –half the charge time of the Nissan Leaf.</p>

<p>“Explorer Live is a program that allows us to get to the <a title="Holy Grail" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Grail" target="_blank">Holy Grail</a> of marketing – direct, unfiltered dialogue with thousands of customers with real-time responses to their questions and to our answers,” said Matt VanDyke, director, <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> U.S. Marketing Communications. “The ability to interact with customers and get feedback from them about what they really want from their vehicle allows us to tailor our marketing outreach accordingly.&#8221;</p>
