			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FORD NOW HAS INDUSTRY’S HIGHEST CUSTOMER SATISFACTION WITH QUALITY, NEW SURVEY SHOWS</p>
<p>DEARBORN, April 19, 2010 – <a title="Ford Motor Company" rel="homepage" href="http://www.ford.com" target="_blank">Ford Motor Company</a> now has the highest <a title="Customer satisfaction" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer_satisfaction" target="_blank">customer satisfaction</a> with vehicle quality among all major <a title="Automotive industry" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_industry" target="_blank">automakers</a>, a new <a title="Marketing research" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing_research" target="_blank">consumer research</a> <a title="Research" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research" target="_blank">study</a> shows.</p>
<p>Eighty-four percent of customers who purchased 2010 model-year Ford, Lincoln and Mercury <a title="Automobile" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile" target="_blank">cars</a> and trucks are satisfied with the quality of their vehicle, a 4 percentage point improvement since the fourth quarter of 2009, according to the first quarter Global Quality Research System (GQRS) study conducted for Ford by RDA Group of <a title="Bloomfield Hills, Michigan" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomfield_Hills%2C_Michigan" target="_blank">Bloomfield Hills</a>, Mich.</p>
<p>With the improvement, Ford’s customer satisfaction scores are now significantly higher than all other full-line automotive manufacturers, including Asian and European automakers, according to the study.</p>
<p>The study also showed Ford has the fewest number of vehicle defects or “things gone wrong” among all full-line manufacturers in the first three months of ownership. Owners of 2010 model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury owners reported 1,107 TGWs per 1,000 vehicles &#8212; an 8 percent improvement compared to last year.</p>
<p>“To become the No. 1 automaker in terms of customer satisfaction with vehicle quality is amazing accomplishment and testament to the whole company’s commitment to quality,” said Bennie Fowler, Ford group vice president, Global Quality. “All the third parties studies are showing the same thing – Ford now has world-class quality.”</p>
<p>As Ford’s quality has improved, it has reduced warranty repair rates on vehicles in their first three months of service by an average of more than 40 percent in every major business region around the world in the past three years.</p>
<p>“Ford has proven its commitment to quality by demonstrating steady improvements through consistency and discipline.” said Donald Pietrowski, president, RDA Group. “Those improvements are clearly reflected in rising customer satisfaction with its products.”</p>
<p>Ford captured eight segment leaders in customer satisfaction, TGW or both. Notably, <a title="Ford Fusion Hybrid" rel="thecarconnection" href="http://www.thecarconnection.com/cars/ford_fusion-hybrid" target="_blank">Fusion Hybrid</a> owners now report 93 percent satisfaction with the quality of their vehicle while 92 percent of Taurus owners are satisfied.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>THE CAR BATTERY: FROM THE SHADOWS TO STARDOM</p>
<p>NEW YORK, March 31, 2010 – For decades, the <a title="Automobile" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile" target="_blank">automobile</a> battery was an essentially static technology, but it’s no longer being taken for granted. Battery technology is now in a starring role in the development of a new generation of electrified vehicles.</p>
<p>But today’s batteries are a far cry from the humble <a title="Lead-acid battery" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead-acid_battery" target="_blank">lead-acid battery</a> used for a century in the automobile. The 12-volt lead-acid battery used in traditional automotive applications is rapidly giving way to sophisticated, higher energy and power batteries as the automobile industry shifts further toward electrification.</p>
<p>The advent of <a title="Hybrid electric vehicle" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_electric_vehicle" target="_blank">hybrid</a> <a title="Electric vehicle" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle" target="_blank">electric vehicles</a> spawned a new generation of batteries, making <a title="Nickel-metal hydride battery" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel-metal_hydride_battery" target="_blank">nickel metal hydride</a> (Ni-MH) batteries the energy storage technology of choice. The nickel used in these batteries is lighter than lead, helping the battery deliver twice the power output for the weight as lead-acid batteries, but the cost of Ni-MH batteries is high – four times that of lead acid. <a title="Automotive industry" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_industry" target="_blank">Automakers</a> already believe they have tapped most of the potential of Ni-MH technology and are moving rapidly toward Lithium-ion technology.</p>
<p><a title="Lithium-ion battery" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery" target="_blank">Lithium-ion batteries</a> are commonplace in the world of <a title="Consumer electronics" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_electronics" target="_blank">consumer electronics</a>. They’re lighter and more energy dense than other types of batteries, making them ideal for laptop computers, <a title="Mobile phone" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone" target="_blank">mobile phones</a> and other portable devices.</p>
<p>That makes lithium-ion technology even better for use in cars of the future, right?</p>

<li>Ford is working with leading technology suppliers, utility partners and international governments to accelerate commercialization of electrified vehicles</li>
</ul>
<p>NEW YORK, March 31, 2010 – The drive toward broad commercialization of <a title="Electric vehicle" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle" target="_blank">electric vehicles</a> intensified today as <a title="Ford Motor Company" rel="homepage" href="http://www.ford.com" target="_blank">Ford Motor Company</a> and Microsoft jointly introduced a new way for consumers to manage their energy use if they choose to plug in their next vehicle.</p>
<p>Microsoft’s Hohm <a title="Application software" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_software" target="_blank">software application</a>, which allows customers to connect to their local utility provider to better understand and manage their home’s energy usage, is the latest component in Ford’s global electrification plans, and further demonstrates the company’s commitment to working with technology leaders to prepare consumers for a future with electric vehicles.</p>
<p>Ford’s global electrification strategy includes plans to produce five full electric or <a title="Hybrid vehicle" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_vehicle" target="_blank">hybrid vehicles</a> in the compact, midsize and light commercial segments for the North American market by 2012 and European markets by 2013.</p>

<li>Partnering with top-ranked national and international universities, the Ford “Atoms to Engines” team challenged skeptics to develop the world’s first virtual materials modeling prediction tool that allows the team to simulate the microstructures of a material before the first <a title="Prototype" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype" target="_blank">prototype</a> is built.</li>
<li>The Atoms to Engines team blends <a title="Engineering" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering" target="_blank">engineering</a> and science to develop <a title="Physics" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics" target="_blank">physics</a>-based <a title="Computer simulation" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_simulation" target="_blank">computer models</a> that predict how properties and materials will behave and change during the manufacturing process.</li>
<li>Building these computer models integrates the study of product performance, manufacturing and materials; in some cases it requires analyzing <a title="Metal" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal" target="_blank">metals</a> down to their atomistic level.</li>
<li>The result? Components that are more durable and efficiently constructed, which saves the company considerable development time and money. In fact, the process is estimated to save Ford between $2 and $5 million a year in reducing test requirements and <a title="New product development" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_product_development" target="_blank">product development</a> time.</li>

<p>DETROIT (CNNMoney.com) &#8212; After finishing off an enviable year for a domestic automaker, Ford Motor Co. won both the North American Car and Truck of the Year Awards presented Monday at the start of Detroit&#8217;s North American International Auto Show.</p>
<p>The Ford Fusion Hybrid sedan won Car of the Year and the Ford Transit Connect van won Truck of the Year.</p>
<p>&#8220;Winning both of these prestigious awards is confirmation that the ONE Ford plan is working, delivering industry-leading products for our customers,&#8221; said Mark Fields, president of Ford&#8217;s Americas division.</p>
<p>One Ford is CEO Alan Mulally&#8217;s plan to have Ford sell largely the same vehicles in all major global markets rather than the previous method of designing and building entirely different cars for different markets.</p>
<p>Ford was the only automaker to gain market share last year, in large part because it was the only one not to be forced into bankruptcy.</p>
<p>But Ford is also gaining based on improved reliability and fuel economy. Consumer Report recently lauded Ford for acheving &#8220;world class&#8221; dependability in its cars. Here at the Detroit Auto Show, shortly after this announcement was made, Ford unveiled a new version of its Ford Focus compact car.</p>
<p>Any all-new or substantially redesigned passenger vehicle that entered the North American market in calendar year 2009 is eligible for the award. The vehicles are voted on by a jury of 49 prominent automotive journalists from the United States and Canada.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FORD VEHICLE RESIDUAL VALUES RISE $1,300 ON AVERAGE FROM 2009 TO 2010 MODEL YEAR; INDUSTRY&#8217;S LARGEST GAIN</p>
<ul>
<li>The projected resale value of 2010 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles after 36 months in service increased by an average of $1,310 per vehicle compared to the 2009 model year – the industry&#8217;s largest increase among full-line manufacturers</li>
<li>The improvement allowed Ford to narrow the residual value gap with leading Asian automakers and maintain its advantage over U.S.-based automakers</li>
<li>The 2010 Ford Fusion is expected to bring customers $687 more than the 2010 Toyota Camry after 36 months in service; the residual value of the 2010 Ford Flex commands an $1,800 premium over the Toyota Highlander</li>
<li>Improved quality, new features and popular redesigned products are helping to boost Ford&#8217;s residual values. Ford improved more than any other automaker in ALG&#8217;s Perceived Quality Survey released in the fall of 2009</li>
<li>Compete Inc., a Massachusetts research firm that studies online car shopping, says Ford has surpassed Toyota in customer consideration for the first time since it began tracking such data in 2002. Compete data show Ford surpassed Toyota in customer consideration in September, October and November</li>

However, the results were unscientific and sometimes resulted in customers feeling unsatisfied and uninspired by their driving experience.</p>

<li>The improvement allowed Ford to narrow the residual value gap with leading Asian automakers and maintain its advantage over <a title="United States" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667 (United%20States)&amp;t=h" target="_blank">U.S.</a>-based automakers</li>
<li>The 2010 Ford <a title="Ford Fusion (Americas)" rel="homepage" href="http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/fusion/" target="_blank">Fusion</a> is expected to bring customers $687 more than the 2010 Toyota Camry after 36 months in service; the residual value of the 2010 Ford Flex commands an $1,800 premium over the Toyota Highlander</li>
<li>Improved quality, new features and popular redesigned products are helping to boost Fords residual values. Ford improved more than any other automaker in ALGs Perceived Quality Survey released in the fall of 2009</li>
<li>Compete Inc., a Massachusetts research firm that studies online <a title="Automobile" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile" target="_blank">car</a> shopping, says Ford has surpassed Toyota in customer consideration for the first time since it began tracking such data in 2002.
