FORD TO OFFER ALL-WHEEL DRIVE, FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE ON EIGHT MODELS EARLY NEXT YEAR

 Following the successful testing of its Intelligent All Wheel Drive system, Ford has disclosed that it would offer all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive on eight of its models early next year.

 Derek Ward, technical specialist, Ford Global Advanced Vehicle Dynamics, who disclosed this in a statement said “All-wheel drive technology is one of the most effective ways to enhance safety and confidence for our customers. By early next year, Ford will offer all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive on eight models – almost 50 per cent of our line-up – compared with three models in 2012.”

The all-wheel drive technologies, according to Ford, will monitor inputs from a greater number of sensors and vehicle controls, delivering more traction and even better fuel efficiency from all-wheel drive-equipped vehicles.
