•12V batterydesigned for long
lasting service with no additional maintenance •Voltage quality
moduleassures vehicle
accessories function normally when
engine is off
•12V enhanced starter motor
provides quick, quiet and seamless engine
starts once driver removes foot from
brake pedal
• Fuel economy gains of as much as 10 percent in city driving
• Vehicle emits zero emissions when stopped
• Vehicle remains warm or cool even when engine is off
• System is smooth, quiet and seamless
• No additional maintenance is required
•Top five benefits of Auto Start-Stop:
Powertrain Technologies: Auto Start-Stop
Coming to North American cars, crossovers, and utilities starting in 2012, the Auto Start-Stop system has been designed to work with conventional gasoline-powered vehicles with automatic and manual transmissions.

Active Grill Shutters
•Installed in both Grill and Bumper
opening
•Installed in Grill opening only
•How it works:• Reduce drag coefficient by closing the opening in front of
the radiator with electrically controlled vents under
certain conditions.
•How it improves fuel consumption:• Improved coefficient of drag (Cd)
• Reduces work done overcoming aerodynamic losses at speeds > 30 mph. • Shutters may open on braking decelerations to cool without penalty if there is a cooling need.
• Faster engine warm-up
• Improves fuel economy as well as heater/defrost • performance• Reduces parasitic losses from cold fluids during engine • warm-up• Reduces other parasitic loads used to warm engine • coolant (higher idle speeds and shift delays).
9
Aggressive Decel Fuel Shutoff
How it works:
• Shut-off fuel during deceleration events and realize F.E. benefit
• Maintain engine speed with torque management and engine/trans • strategies and converter management
• Catalyst O2 regeneration strategy applied to manage NOx emission • when fuel is turned on.
How it improves fuel consumption:• Reduces Fuel Consumption during Decel events.

The Payoff: Ford Flex Fuel Vehicles
• U.S. ethanol production increased 8-fold over the past decade, and accounts for approximately 10% of gasoline sold in the U.S.; it is projected to nearly double over the next decade.
• Ford Flex Fuel Vehicles include:
− Escape
− Fusion
− F-150
− Expedition
− E-Series
− Lincoln Navigator
− Super Duty
− New models to be added in 2012
Ford offers a wide range of Flex-Fuel products which satisfy consumer needs while utilizing a full range of ethanol-containing fuels (incl. E85)
available in the U.S. 17

Summary
• The Ford plan is based on product and operational excellence and requires people working together as lean, global enterprise.
• Balancing market and regulatory drivers for improved fuel efficiency and lowering CO2 while also meeting more restrictive standards for criteria emissions is one of our greatest challenges.
• Technology innovation is used as differentiator. Feature content and technologies that improve comfort and convenience, safety and fuel efficiency will continue to be increasingly important in all markets.
• Sustainable technology must be affordable for millions of customers
• Ford has established, and continues to develop, a comprehensive portfolio of technologies to improve efficiency and reduce weight.
• EcoBoost is being migrated widely in lieu of larger conventional engines, offering increased fuel economy at comparable or improved performance.
• Ford will offer a complete array of hybrid and electric vehicle choices that over time will contribute on a volume basis.
