Drivers 'can cut costs and their carbon footprint with Ford'
Motorists looking for an eco-friendly, fuel-efficient new vehicle may find Ford has the answer.According to the manufacturer, its ECOnetic Fiesta, Focus and Mondeo models, along with its Transit diesels, feature a system which could help drivers cut their carbon footprint and the amount they spend at the pump.
The gear-shift indicator - which is located in the instrument cluster - signals to motorists when the best possible moment to change gears is.
Ford explained that moving through the gears quickly reduces fuel consumption because unnecessary high engine speeds are avoided.
It added the system also leads to a reduction in CO2 emissions and less wear and tear on engine and transmission components.
Tim Winstanley from Ford commented: "The indicator provides drivers with a helpful aid to using less fuel and encourages a smoother driving style."
Meanwhile, Ford recently revealed the new Focus RS - due to arrive in showrooms across the UK in March - would be priced from £24,995.
