2012 Ford Fiesta Econetic
- Latest Fiesta and FiestaVan CO2 emissions lowered to 87g/km, equating to 85.6mpg*
- No vehicle excise duty payable on cars
- New Fiesta Edge, Zetec and Titanium ECOnetic models from £14,445
- FiestaVan ECOnetic from £12,215
BRENTWOOD, Essex, 26 March, 2012 – New high-tech developments have made Britain’s best-selling car and small van even cleaner with latest emissions dropping from 95 to 87g/km of CO
2 and combined fuel economy rising to 85.6mpg*.
he significantly improved efficiency, boosting the environmental performance of the Fiesta and FiestaVan featuring ECOnetic Technology by over 12 per cent, has been achieved through the introduction of:
- Auto-Start-Stop
- Upgrades to the 95PS 1.6TDCi engine including friction and combustion improvements and calibration optimisation
- Revised gear ratios
- Smart regenerative charging
- EcoMode
- Improved efficiency of the air conditioning, cooling fan and alternator
Original equipment fitted as standard to the Fiesta and FiestaVan ECOnetic, including rolling resistance tyres, an aero pack comprising undershield and wheel deflectors, variable flow oil pump and shift indicator light, is carried over on ECOnetic Technology models.
Sustainability is important not only for the car, but also for the facilities behind its manufacture. Ford’s Dagenham-built Duratorq TDCi engines are produced in a facility that derives all its electricity from renewable sources, with three dedicated wind turbines.
The Ford Fiesta with ECOnetic Technology has three trim levels to suit different customer requirements: Edge, Zetec or Titanium. Such advanced fuel economy avoids UK road tax (Vehicle Excise Duty) contributions, yet the refinement and fun-to-drive personality of the original Fiesta is retained intact.
