Ford will launch a new range of ultra-low CO2 emitting vehicles, called ECOnetic, at next month’s Frankfurt Auto Show. The ECOnetic line of cars will feature a combination of ultra-efficient diesel powertrains as well as other fuel-saving and exhaust filtering technologies to reduce overall CO2 emissions.
The first model to receive to ECOnetic treatment will be the European Focus hatchback next year. The car will be powered by a 108 horsepower 1.6L Duratorq TDCi engine with a standard diesel particular filter, a combination that promises to deliver best-in-class CO2 emissions. Fuel-mileage is said to average 54 mpg.
