Ford Offers Four ’09 FFV
August 6, 2008 Ford Motor Co. will add four new flexible fuel vehicle (FFV) models to its line in 2009, plus one FFV each as part of the company’s Mercury and Lincoln brands.
These actions will assist in meeting the company’s commitment to doubling FFV production by 2010 and producing 50% of their total production as FFVs by 2012. Ford is a member of the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition (NEVC).
"We are excited to see Ford moving forward with their commitment to adding more FFVs to their line-up," says NEVC Executive Director Phil Lampert. “The auto industry is experiencing significant shifts in product demand to high mileage vehicles and alternative fuel vehicles which do not solely operate on petroleum. We believe that the use of E85 and other high level blends of ethanol in these FFVs can have a significant impact to reducing demand for imported petroleum.”
Ford’s new FFV offerings in 2009 are:
Ford:
- 5.4L F-1504
- 6L Crown Victoria (for fleets only)
- 4.6L and 5.4L Econoline Van (class exclusive)
- 5.4L Expedition
Mercury:
- 4.6L Grand Marquis
Lincoln:
- 5.4L Lincoln Navigator
