Daniel set to improve Ford’s engines

23/02/2012

Daniel Contractors Ltd is a support services company that operate throughout the UK and overseas in the utilities, marine, civil engineering and energy sectors.

Ford is providing 130 Ford Focus and Mondeo models to Daniel following the company’s review of Ford vehicles. The outcome highlighted the need for Ford to provide a more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly engine that aims to lower the cost of ownership. As a result, Ford’s fuel-efficient diesel engine is set to be improved with the help of Daniel Contractors Ltd.

Principal consultant for ERA Fleet Cost Management, Sean Bingham, helped Daniel review the market and said; “We identified areas where significant efficiencies and savings could be made over and above those already achieved by Daniel.

“By opting for the fuel-efficient 1.6-litre TDCi engine in the Ford Focus and Ford Mondeo, Daniel has made great savings in terms of HMRC’s advisory fuel rates.”

Paul Boulds, Head of transport at Daniel, added; “As a responsible business, we were looking for a product that met the high environmental standards we wanted to achieve while also providing Benefit in Kind (BIK) advantages for our employees.

He continued; “We spent a considerable amount of time reviewing the market and are delighted to be buying Ford’s new 1.6-litre TDCi engines featuring ECOnetic Technology, which will provide the business with a fleet that reduces our carbon footprint and also provides substantial cost savings for our employees and the business as a whole.”

Ford is attempting to reduce CO2 output whilst increasing fuel economy through a number of new developments with its Ford ECOnetic Technology.

These new technological improvements from Ford include Ford Auto-Start-Stop, Smart Regenerative Charging and Ford’s Eco Mode. These new features are in place to monitor gear change, anticipate overall speed and to encourage drivers to adopt a more fuel-efficient style of driving.
