A de facto forerunner of the next-generation Ford Escape and its European Kuga counterpart, the Vertrek Concept melds dynamic visuals, exceptional people/cargo space and class-leading fuel economy into a package that Ford execs will use as a sounding board as they seek to reach new buyers in a segment that has more than doubled in size in the U.S. since 2000 and enjoyed equally robust growth in Europe and Asia. http://www.kbb.com/ford/

2011 Ford Vertrek Concept
Ford Motor Company unveiled its vision for a sleeker, sportier and more stylish compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) at the 2011 North American International Auto Show. The Ford Vertrek concept previews the company's ambition for a next-generation, global compact SUV that could lead the industry in both design and fuel efficiency. The Ford Vertrek concept is based on Ford's global C-segment platform, which includes the all-new Ford Focus range launching early in 2011 in North America and Europe, plus the latest C-MAX and Grand C-MAX multi-activity vehicles. It represents the vision of the company's top design and engineering talent on how best to attract and satisfy future sport utility vehicle customers around the world. "Ford Vertrek concept is a no-compromise solution we feel utility vehicle customers will embrace around the world," said Derrick Kuzak, Ford group vice president of Global Product Development. "It is a revolution compared to what is typically seen in this segment in North America and is a stylish evolution compared with products outside North America. This new design is sleeker and more fuel efficient and delivers the capability, including people and cargo volume, customers demand globally." The Ford Vertrek concept combines the best of Ford's distinctive European kinetic design styling and driving quality with outstanding levels of cargo space, trailer-tow and off-road capability for North America, promising a vehicle that meets the needs of next-generation compact utility vehicle customers around the world. Ford Vertrek Concept (2011) The sleek appearance of the Ford Vertrek concept has been honed aerodynamically to help support the program target of class-leading fuel economy and low CO2 emissions and complement the high-tech powertrain solutions Ford envisions. Ford preliminary data show that a production vehicle based around the Vertrek concept would be at least 5 percent more aerodynamically efficient than current comparable Ford North American and European models, such as the Escape and Kuga. Global solution for global needs Ford's global C-segment platform allows for the efficient creation of vehicles that address consumer tastes around the world. "Customer demands are converging globally toward a compact sport utility vehicle that is stylish and great fun to drive while at the same time providing the package, capability, engaging technology and fuel economy they expect," said Jim Farley, group vice president, Global Marketing, Sales and Service. "The Ford Vertrek concept will allow us to hear directly from these customers about trade-offs they are prepared to make as we look to deliver a future production model that brings to life all these attributes." At least 10 new models will be built on the new global C-segment platform, which replaces three platforms currently in production regionally. By 2012, the new platform will account for more than 2 million units of sales, providing Ford with unprecedented economies of scale and an opportunity to offer customers around the world an array of new technologies and product features usually reserved for premium vehicles. The compact sport utility vehicle segment is one of the largest (consistently in the top five), most competitive and fastest growing segments - more than doubling in market share since 2000 - in the U.S. It also ranks among the top four most cross-shopped segments in the U.S. It is a segment that Ford helped pioneer with the popular Escape model. Growth in Europe of crossover products, similar to the compact sport utility vehicle segment in the U.S., has been astounding - up more than 200 percent since 2000. The Ford Kuga has consistently ranked third in its segment, in which all major manufacturers compete, since its launch in 2008. Nearly 70 percent of Kuga customers opt for the high series. Globally, the compact SUV segment has shown growth since 2009, led by China and the U.S. The market in China is projected to increase 60 percent by 2011 compared with 2009. "This segment is uniquely diversified across the globe," said Farley. "In the U.S. these are considered small cars, while in Europe and other markets they are considered midsize cars. No matter how you classify it, the segment is vitally important and only those manufacturers who demonstrate leadership in design, customer-focused technology, capability and fuel-efficient performance will succeed."

Ford Kuga concept prototipo 2012 Vertrek
Il concept Ford Vertrek è stato sviluppato a partire dalla piattaforma globale Ford per il segmento C, che include la nuova gamma Ford Focus in arrivo a inizio 2011 in Nord America e in Europa, oltre alle più recenti C-MAX e C-MAX7. È l'espressione dei più grandi talenti Ford nel campo del design e della progettazione impegnati a sviluppare un SUV che sappia attrarre e soddisfare al meglio i clienti di ogni paese. "Il concept Vertrek è un veicolo che non si piega a compromessi. Siamo certi che gli acquirenti di SUV in tutto il mondo subiranno il suo fascino", ha dichiarato Derrick Kuzak, Vice Presidente del gruppo Ford per la divisione Sviluppo prodotti globali."È un'autentica rivoluzione rispetto ai modelli che caratterizzano questo segmento in Nord America e si propone come una nuova affermazione di stile ed eleganza che trascende i prodotti attualmente disponibili nel resto del mondo. Il suo nuovo design ha un appeal più sofisticato e una resa più efficiente in termini di consumi, senza dimenticare le prestazioni".Il concept Ford Vertrek coniuga le migliori prerogative del caratteristico kinetic design europeo di Ford in termini di stile e qualità di guida con prestazioni eccezionali relativamente a spazio di carico, capacità di traino e agilità off-road per il mercato nordamericano, con la prospettiva di soddisfare le esigenze di una nuova generazione di clienti nel segmento dei SUV compatti in tutto il mondo. Il profilo elegante del concept Ford Vertrek è stato perfezionato sotto il profilo aerodinamico per conseguire l'obiettivo del programma di sviluppo che si prefigge di conquistare il primato nella categoria per riduzione dei consumi e delle emissioni di CO2, fungendo nel contempo da perfetto contraltare alle soluzioni ultratecnologiche che Ford prevede per i motori. La piattaforma globale Ford per il segmento C consente una progettazione efficiente di veicoli che incontrano i gusti della clientela internazionale. "Le esigenze dei clienti in tutto il mondo stanno convergendo e si fa strada il desiderio di avere un SUV compatto che sia elegante e piacevole da guidare, con tutti i vantaggi che i consumatori si aspettano: spazio di carico, prestazioni, tecnologie esclusive e risparmio di carburante" ha dichiarato Jim Farley, Vice Presidente Marketing, vendite e assistenza globali. "Il concept Ford Vertrek ci consentirà di intercettare le opinioni dei clienti per capire in quale direzione si muovono le loro preferenze mentre ci prepariamo a sviluppare un nuovo modello di produzione che compendi tutte queste caratteristiche".Un minimo di dieci nuovi modelli saranno realizzati a partire dalla nuova piattaforma globale per il segmento C, che sostituisce le tre piattaforme attualmente in produzione su scala regionale. La Ford Kuga mantiene saldamente il terzo posto nel suo segmento, dove competono tutti i principali produttori.Il concept elegante e sportivo Ford Vertrek è stato progettato secondo le linee guida del kinetic design, il linguaggio stilistico globale di Ford. Il concept Vertrek si richiama a queste caratteristiche fondamentali del kinetic design, esaltando le proprie doti di veicolo adatto all'uso su strada e ad impieghi off-road.Il concept Ford Vertrek dimostra come il progetto di creare un SUV compatto di nuova generazione a basso consumo di carburante possa tradursi in realtà grazie ad una più estesa applicazione della gamma a benzina EcoBoost™ e diesel TDCi (turbo diesel common-rail a iniezione diretta), entrambe con caratteristiche avanzate, in abbinamento alla tecnologia Ford Auto-Start-Stop. I motori Ford EcoBoost consentono di risparmiare fino al 20% sui consumi e riducono le emissioni di CO2 anche del 15% rispetto a motori più grandi e meno efficienti.Oltre ad abbinare il turbocompressore con l'iniezione diretta, gli ingegneri Ford addetti ai sistemi propulsori hanno potenziato le capacità dell'EcoBoost sul versante tecnologico introducendo la fasatura variabile e procedendo ad un controllo rigoroso di tutti gli aspetti del motore. Il concept Ford Vertrek è equipaggiato con il motore Ford EcoBoost quattro cilindri da 1,6 litri, che offre la stessa potenza in uscita dei sistemi propulsori con cilindrata maggiore pur garantendo prestazioni decisamente migliori in termini di risparmio carburante e riduzione delle emissioni. Un'altra caratteristica fondamentale che incrementa il risparmio di carburante è il sistema Ford Auto-Start-Stop. Questo dispositivo arresta automaticamente il motore quando il veicolo è inattivo, ad esempio in sosta nei semafori, riavviandolo in breve tempo quando il conducente desidera ripartire.

Ford VERTREK Concept- 2011 Detroit Auto Show (Press Conference)
The Ford VERTREK concept was announced at the 2011 Detroit North American International Auto Show in Detroit, MI and Green Energy News was on-hand for the big announcement. In between the C platform news and the all Electric Ford Focus, Ford brought out this bad boy at their press conference to start the 2011 Detroit NAIAS. To meet the worldwide demand for small, fuel efficient utility vehicles, Ford unveiled the Vertrek to loud applause at the press conference. The vehicle will boast Ford's 1.6L EcoBoost engine which produces 180 HP and 173 ft lb torque in other applications and promises 2.0L Duratorq turbo-diesel engines in Europe. The Vertrek will blend the North American Escape and European Kuga into one aggressively designed crossover. The vehicle will feature several fuel efficient features, including smart stop/start technology and regenerative braking. Green Energy New is hoping the Vertrek will also be available in even more GREEN applications including full electric and plug-in hybrid. One thing is for sure... this thing is SHARP!
