Ford wants to become a leader in terms of technology and fuel economy

Ford Motor Co. has several plans for its future Ford and Lincoln lineups to become the leaders in terms of technology and fuel economy. MyFord Touch technology will be seen in 80% of the Ford model lineup by the 2014 model year. In some cases, it will be offered as standard equipment. It also plans to soon present two hybrid vehicles and to work in the development of additional direct-injection turbocharged EcoBoost engines.

Ford also seeks to bring some of its products upscale, says Autonews. For instance, the restyled 2013 Taurus will feature interior refinements and enhanced fuel economy with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine. Ford will also be improving the Lincoln products in the future.

To rebuild Lincoln, it will offer clearer designs with seven new or improved Lincoln products by the 2014 model year.[via : 4wheelsnews]
