2013 Ford Escape is Quieter Thanks to a Mirror that Sees Sound
Ford’s all-new 2013 Ford Escape will have reduced wind noise leading to a quieter interior thanks to the use of an elliptical acoustic mirror.
An elliptical acoustic mirror was used for the first time on Escape to reduce wind noise and deliver a quieter interior. The mirror resembles a satellite dish with a microphone. The mirror identifies “hot spots” where noise penetrates the interior of the vehicle, allowing drivers to listen to music or conversation inside the car instead of external noises. Thanks to the mirror, Ford’s engineers were able to make changes to the Escape’s shape, specifically the mirrors and A-pillar, while in the early clay model phase.
“We previously didn’t have this tool available,” said Peter Kleesattel, interior quietness development engineer. “Essentially we were able to optimize the shape earlier. In noise and vibration, the basic idea is you have noise sources outside the vehicle and you have the path.
“The path could be through the glass, door or insulation. Now we’re able to optimize the shape early on, reduce the exterior source and create a quieter interior.”

Ford Focus Electric jumps onto Michigan assembly line
WAYNE, Michigan — In an era significantly less concerned about fossil fuel consumption, this vast factory was acknowledged as the Michigan Truck plant. It built Ford Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators, even though additional back in its history, in the fifties and sixties, it developed Ford’s yacht-like station wagons.
Now it is referred to as the Michigan Assembly Plant, and it’s all about staying present day and green. Ford just invested $ 500 million so it could make the 2012 Ford Concentrate and some its variants, and do so in a extremely green way.
Concentrate production started out in the spring of 2011. In November, it started to generate the 2012 Ford Focus Electric, right on the very same line as the gas-driven Concentrate models.
Electrical Production
“When the C-MAX Hybrid and C-MAX Energi go into creation here, we will be the first plant in the planet to have (such) an integrated develop,” stated John Fleming, Ford’s Executive Vice President, International Manufacturing. “The plant will be responsible for putting in five different powertrains – two diverse gas engines, a hybrid, a plug-in hybrid, and a battery electrical – all on the same line.”
The condition neatly illustrates Ford’s electrical technique –electrify a platform, not a single model, and make gasoline and electric designs related enough that they can share several elements and manufacturing processes. It also tends to make sense from a sales standpoint. If electric vehicles are hard sells, plant production can easily to switch to other designs.
“Each station is ready to accept any kind of car that comes their way,” notes Fleming. “Because we are electrifying platforms and not one-off specialty automobiles, we can manage to assemble the automobiles affordably, and with the same good quality measures as the traditional fuel models rolling down the exact same line.”
2014 Ford Mondeo Wagon Rendered: We’ll Take It as a Fusion
January 20, 2012 at 10:23am by Jon Yanca
Now that the 2013 Ford Fusion‘s sheetmetal has been exposed, one of our illustrators has grafted cargo space onto the back to generate a wagon. And a great-searching one particular at that. Because the new Fusion will be offered in Europe as the Mondeo, this rendering is a lot more appropriate to the continent. But simply because we’ll by no means tire of telling you enough how significantly we dig station wagons, we couldn’t assist but pass this along with the hopes that–cross your fingers–it could also finish up here in the U.S.
We figure we may possibly as nicely make a case for a 5-door Fusion. Even though several at the 2012 Detroit auto display had been fawning above the new Fusion/Mondeo sedan’s style, we think this wagon does the car’s prolonged proportions even higher justice. It’s like a functioning man’s Aston Martin Rapide. Ford, if you are listening, this design alone would blow the doors off the Acura TSX Sport Wagons and Volkswagen Jetta SportWagens on our shores. Bring it right here. Please?

L.L. Bean Bootmobile Kicks into Action
L.L. Bean — unique editionizer of Subarus all more than New England – has just rolled out a new particular edition for the company’s 100th anniversary: The Bootmobile.
The 13-foot large, 20-foot lengthy Bootmobile is based on a Ford F-250 Super Duty is presently on its way from Brunswick, ME to New York City to kick off a tour of major US cities. The layout is based mostly on L.L. Bean’s Hunting Shoe, the item that started out the complete issue.
While all of L.L. Bean’s boots are handmade, this one took some further prep as it is 20.5 instances greater than a actual one, though it is genuine-to-scale. L.L. Bean points out that if this had been a genuine shoe it would be a dimension 767 and the approximate height of the wearer would be 143 feet. The laces are 12-strand braided mooring rope with a towing rating of 106,000 pounds.
Bootmobile video soon after the jump. Just before you comment, even though, beware that disparaging the boot is a bootable offense.
