Ford Volunteers Work to Improve Environment on Ford Accelerated Action Day

JACKSON, Mich - Last Thursday was a particularly busy day for Ford employees. By busy, we do not mean they were in and out of meetings all day or swamped with emails. Thursday was a day spent busy within the community as Ford Volunteers Worked to Improve the Environment on Ford Accelerated Action Day! In light of World Environment Day being on Thursday, June 5th, Ford volunteers planted urban vegetable gardens, installed watering systems, constructed storage sheds and landscaped the grounds of various nonprofit organizations around southeast Michigan. Ford employees are trying to improve sustainability not only within the automobile industry, but also within their communities. 

More than 500 Ford employees participate in roughly three dozen community service projects that have been created by Ford's nonprofit partners. Participating agencies shared $46,000 in Ford grants that went towards purchasing tools, plants and other necessary supplies.  The nonprofit partners in southeast Michigan that received up to $5,000 in grants for the projects include:

Alternatives for Girls, Detroit – Built garden shed, painted and decorated child care room

Arbor Hospice, Ann Arbor – Created self-watering planting areas and prepared gardens

Boy Scouts of America, Metamora – Rebuilt yurts and dwelling structure for rustic camping

Community Living Centers, Farmington – Painted office

Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries, Highland Park – Installed drip irrigation system and planted urban garden

Ford Volunteers Worked to Improve the Environment on Ford Accelerated Action Day by planting, building, painting and also by teaming up with Ford Green IT. Volunteers collected unused computers, printers and other electronic equipment to be recycled. Last year's collection of e-waste kept 63,000 pounds of recycled materials out of landfills. We can't wait to hear how many pounds of e-waste were collected this year!

Ford Enhances Their Virtual Crash System

JACKSON, Mich - As Ford prepares for the debut of several new vehicles this year, what better time to make some technological improvements? Ford Enhances Their Virtual Crash System by increasing their computing power by 50 percent! What this increase will allow is for Ford to maximize the speed and number of virtual vehicle crash tests performed while obtaining an even higher level of safety for Ford customers. 

Ford's latest technology investment for their virtual crash system will allow the engineers and vehicle evaluation teams to receive more data at a faster rate. The combined physical and virtual crash tests help ensure that Ford vehicles meet or exceed industry safety requirements. With all of the new body styles, features and advanced systems on vehicles today, many countries have now developed unique regulations that Ford must abide by. Ford's new technology investment, and of course the outstanding employees, will make this larger workload more manageable.

Ford Motor Company's very first crash test dates back to 1954! Since then, the company has made countless adaptations to the latest and greatest technologies. Today, Ford's crash barrier facility can actually be transformed to perform various vehicle tests. Now, frontal, side and rear impact tests to evaluate the restraint and airbag systems can be done under one roof. Vehicle preparation for these tests takes any where from a few days to a few weeks depending on the complexity of the test. But, once the tests are complete, the team can receive all of the data in just under 30 minutes!

We said it before and we will say it again, Ford has a huge and exciting year ahead! Ford Enhancing Their Virtual Crash System is the best way for them to complete testing quickly, efficiently and of course ensure they are providing customers with only the safest vehicles.

America's Best-Selling Commercial Trucks Add to Lineup

JACKSON, Mich - America's Best-Selling Commercial Trucks Add to the Lineup, raising the bar in medium-duty commercial work trucks with the all-new Ford F-650/F-750. These latest models are without a doubt the toughest, best value, work-ready Ford medium-duty trucks of all time. 

Ford welcomes the F-650/F-750 to America's broadest commercial vehicle lineup, the newest trucks with an impressive combination of commercial-grade quality, convenience, and capability. The F-650 and F-750 are serving as anchors in Ford's Commercial Truck lineup. Vocational customers can count on Ford Motor Company to be a "one-stop shop" where they can find a vehicle to fit any of their needs. Whether customers are in need of a Class 1 Ford Transit Connect cargo van or the Class 7 Ford F-750, Ford's commercial lineup will have a vehicle for any field of work. The best part? All of the trucks and vans in the Ford Commercial truck lineup will be given an all-new or refreshed look within the next 18 months.

The F-650 and F-750 will be 2016 model years and will be available in the spring of 2015. These medium-duty trucks will be torture-tested by people and machines to truly prove they are the toughest of their breed. From hauling heavy loads through the warmest of climates to towing heavy trailers up steep hills in below zero temperatures, the F-650/F-750 will endure it all. Customers will also notice the value and cost of ownership of these trucks will greatly improve in the 2016 models. There will be additional design and feature comforts that would typically be found in more mainstream products. Remote start, hands-free mobile device connectivity and ride/steering improvements are just a few of the enhanced elements drivers can expect to see.

With America's Best-Selling Commercial Trucks adding to the lineup comes one of the most important elements - the F-650/F-750 will be equipped with the Ford 6.7-liter Power Stroke® V8 diesel engine and Ford TorqShift® six-speed automatic transmission. It is enhanced for medium-duty trucks and creates a significant amount of power, performance and improved fuel economy. These trucks will be work-ready for medium-duty jobs by offering auxiliary components like the clean cab-to-axle design. With this design, the diesel exhaust fluid tank and the standard fuel tank are located under the cab rather than behind it on the frame. This particular component makes customizing easier, reducing the customer's final costs and time to delivery. Another great addition, the aluminum fuel tanks with the Power Stroke diesel that the trucks contain are actually lighter and help with efficiency. Ford Motor Company has officially raised the bar for medium-duty trucks everywhere by developing the toughest, best valued, work-ready trucks of all time.

Mustang is the Perfect Fit for "Need for Speed"

JACKSON, Mich - Director Scott Waugh of the soon-to-be hit movie, "Need for Speed", says that the Mustang is the Perfect Fit for the film. Waugh told Ford Media, "the best car movies combine tons of power, real-wheel drive, great handling and the ability to be easily flung around corners". What better choice than the all-new 2015 Mustang for the role? A car that Waugh and many can agree "represents America at its best".

As the the new Mustang's first film, "Need for Speed" is the perfect debut to show the true spirit of the Mustang to an audience. In the film Toby Marshall, portrayed by Emmy award-winner Aaron Paul, drives across the county to seek redemption after a friend of his was killed. The Mustang is the perfect vehicle for Toby not only because of its performance, but also its symbolic meaning. The pony car has been known for the past five decades for bringing a sense of passion, freedom, and optimism to fans and drivers.

The performance features of the Mustang are of course are a large contributor to the film. Ford engineers and designers equipped the "Need for Speed" Mustang with a custom wide-body kit, unique lighting, and a supercharged V8 engine. Even when the Mustang is parked it looks fast! Scott Waugh did what he had to do to ensure these and all other aspects of the beloved to vehicle were fully executed on the silver screen.

Scott Waugh recently released a co-branded ad for the film and the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang at the Daytona 500 this past Sunday. Along with promotion the vehicle and the movie, the ad also was the start of the #InaMustang social media campaign. Fans near and far can share their stories, videos, and photos of where they want to go "in a Mustang". Submitted stories to http://ford.com/inamustang will then be brought to life by Ford and content creators within social and film networks.

Why the 2015 Expedition is Worth a Second Glance

JACKSON, Mich - On February 18th, the 2015 Ford Expedition was revealed at the 2014 DFW Auto Show.

The 2015 Ford Expedition is now easier to drive with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine providing more power and torque on demand. Not to mention, the fuel economy is outstanding. The Expedition also features an advanced suspension that monitors body motion and adjusts the damping motion as needed.
