DaimlerChrysler Begins Distribution of Sprinter Vans in U.S.

DaimlerChrysler Vans LLC recently announced the start of distribution for the commercial van "Sprinter" in the USA. The new Class 2 and 3 light commercial vehicle, designed and powered by Mercedez-Benz, will be marketed under the Freightliner brand in the U.S.

The Sprinter is powered by the Mercedes-Benz 5-cylinder common rail direct injection diesel engine and comes with a standard 5-speed automatic transmission. Providing 154 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque, the engine achieves an average of 22 miles per gallon.

One of DaimlerChryslers' key selling points for the new model is that it performs at the level of competitors' gasoline-powered models, but has longer maintenance intervals and achieves better fuel economy, giving the Sprinter an advantage in overall cost-per-mile of operation.

The Freightliner Sprinter will be available in three wheelbases and two basic body types by the end of 2001. It will be offered in both cargo and passenger versions, both of which can be ordered with two different roof heights. Depending on the wheelbase, the Sprinter offers between 247 and 473 sq. ft. of cargo space.

Look for updates in the ARI Production News for ordering availability and production timing at http://www.arifleet.com.

Popular Ford Fleet Models Offer New Option Flexibility

Ford Motor Company recently announced product changes that offer fleet accounts greater option flexibility on two popular fleet models: Taurus SE Wagon and Focus.

Effective with orders submitted on or after January 1, 2002, ABS will be optional on the Taurus SE Wagon. Since ABS is currently standard, the base price will be reduced by $600 MSRP to reflect the change in equipment. This change applies to all fleet and retail SE Wagon Arrays (940A, 950A, 500A, 501A, 505A, 506A and 507A).

Also effective January 1, 2002, Ford will add additional fleet arrays to the Focus that offer extra options without having to upgrade to a higher series. For the Focus LX Sedan array 240F and the Focus SE Wagon array 450F, options such as the Comfort Group (50A) and the Power Group (60A), which were previously not available on the LX, will be orderable options.

Lexus to Debut All-New Luxury SUV at the North American International Auto Show

Lexus recently announced that it will debut an all-new GX 470 SUV at the 2002 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, January 12-26.

Positioned between the car-based RX 300 and the high-end LX 470, the V8-powered, mid-size GX 470 will feature the same full-time four-wheel drive system as the premium LX 470, a 4.7-liter V8 engine, and rear adaptive height controls. These features, coupled with numerous luxury amenities, will provide Lexus GX 470 customers with an ideal mix of business and pleasure.

The all-new GX 470 SUV will go on sale in January 2003. Further details about the vehicle will be announced at the NAIAS Lexus press conference on Sunday, January 6, 2002.

2002 Explorer Praised by IIHS
2002 Ford Explorer

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has named the 2002 Ford Explorer a "Best Pick" for its performance in frontal offset crash tests.

The Institute delayed testing for the Explorer because structural modifications, which were intended to improve the offset crash test performance, were added after the model was introduced this year. "By the results of our recent test, the changes were successful. The Explorer's structure held together very well," said Brian O'Neill, IIHS president.

The last Explorer to be tested by IIHS was a 1996 model, which was rated "acceptable". This year, the vehicle earned a "good" rating along with 5 other models: Mercury Mountaineer, Acura MDX, Toyota Highlander, Suzuki Grand Vitara XL-7 and Mitsubishi Montera Sport. Of the SUV's rated "good", the Acura MDX and Explorer/ Mountaineer were the only models to earn the IIHS "Best Pick" designation.

Crashworthiness evaluations are primarily based on the Institutes' results of the frontal crash test at 40 mph. Each vehicles' overall evaluation is based on three aspects of performance, including: amount of occupant compartment intrusion, crash-test dummy "injuries", and a slow motion film analysis of the restraint system controlling the dummy's movement during the test.

GM Announces Shuttle Bus Incentives

GM recently announced an incentive program for all 2002 model year Express and Savana Cargo vans ordered with upfitter option (YF7). These vans are now eligible for a $1,250 fleet incentive if they are modified as a 10 to 15 passenger shuttle bus with center aisles. The units are only eligible for the incentive if they are purchased out of stock or from a bailment pool.

Ford Focus AdvanceTrac™ Helps Keep Drivers Safe in Winter

When winter hits and the roads turn treacherous, the Ford Focus AdvanceTrac™ system helps to keep drivers in control.

Using technologies developed for spacecraft, the Focus is the only vehicle in its class to offer AdvanceTrac™, an interactive vehicle dynamics system that uses sensors to determine if the vehicle is following the driver's intended path. If the vehicle strays, the system determines corrective actions and works with the cars' ABS and Traction Control System to intervene, helping to enhance stability and control. The system monitors the vehicles' actions every seven milliseconds, or once every four inches of road traveled at 30 mph.
The AdvanceTrac system provides more vehicle stability when drivers encounter snowy roads or emergency situations.

For example, if the system detects that the car is about to fishtail (oversteer), the system applies a braking impulse to the outside front wheel to help to stabilize the car. Or, if the system detects the front of the car is drifting to the outside of a turn (understeer), it applies a similar braking impulse to the inside rear wheel, bringing the vehicle back on the driver's intended course.

AdvanceTrac™ uses aerospace technology to provide a highly sensitive yaw-rate sensor. These sensors, originally developed for navigational gyrocompasses and rocket stabilization systems, detect any subtle rotations by a property known as the "Coriolis Force".

"If it seems extremely complicated and technical, it is," said Susan Cischke, Ford vice president of Environmental and Safety Engineering. "But the bottom line is that this helps our customers get from point-A to point-B safely. That's our goal."

The ABS with AdvanceTrac™ system (option code 47D) is available on the Focus ZX3 3-Door Power Premium model (array 120A), the ZX5 5-Door (600A), the ZTS Sedan (500A) and the ZTW Wagon (420A). MSRP is $1,625.

Mazda Develops Light Weight Plastic, Improves Fuel Economy

Mazda Motor Corporation has developed an injection molding process that uses a new high-strength plastic to manufacture parts that are stronger, lighter and less expensive to produce.

The Japanese model Atenza/Mazda 6, unveiled at the Tokyo Motor show, uses the new fiber reinforced polypropylene material on the front end and door module carriers. This results in dramatic weight savings, which contributes to improved fuel economy.

Mazda says it plans to use this new technology to develop common integrated functionality modules for use in new models, and apply modifications to existing models by using a new generation of platforms.

Driving with ABS - Do's and don'ts

Before ABS, drivers were taught to rapidly "pump the brakes," allowing some degree of steering while the brake pedal is released, at the expense of a longer braking distance. Pumping is counterproductive on today's ABS systems, and drivers need to change their braking technique to take full advantage of ABS technology.

Anti-lock braking systems help prevent brake-induced wheel "lock-up" when braking aggressively or on slippery surfaces. When a driver of an ABS-equipped car applies the brakes firmly enough to lock a wheel, the system automatically regulates the brake pressure for maximum stopping power without wheel lock-up. While this may result in a shorter stopping distance than pumping the brakes, the main advantage is control: because a locked wheel slides – rather than rotates – along the road surface, it cannot transmit steering forces. The ABS system lets the driver steer while simultaneously braking hard, and although it can't beat the laws of physics, it helps most drivers maintain control of the vehicle.

Do's. . .

  • Keep Your Foot on the Brake
    Maintain firm and continuous pressure on the brake pedal to allow ABS to work properly. Avoid pumping the brake, even if the brake pedal is pulsating. In vehicles that are equipped with only rear-wheel anti-lock brakes, however, (certain pickup trucks and sport-utilities) the front wheels can still lock up. If that happens, the driver should ease up on the brake pedal just enough to allow the front wheels to roll again so he or she can steer.
  • Allow Enough Distance to Stop
    Follow two seconds or more behind vehicles when driving in good conditions. Allow more time if conditions are hazardous.
  • Practice Driving with ABS
    Become accustomed to pulsations that occur in the brake pedal when ABS is activated. Empty parking lots or other open areas are excellent places to practice emergency stops.
  • Consult the Vehicle's Owner's Guide
    Your owner's guide offers additional driving instructions and information about the anti-lock braking system.

don'ts. . .

  • Don't Drive an ABS-Equipped Vehicle More Aggressively
    Driving around curves faster, changing lanes abruptly, or performing other aggressive maneuvers is neither appropriate nor safe with any vehicle.
  • Don't Pump the Brakes
    ABS modulates the brakes for you automatically at a much faster rate, allowing better steering control and a quicker stop than if the driver "pumps" the brakes.
  • Don't Forget to Steer
    Four-wheel ABS enables drivers to steer in emergency braking situations, but the system itself does not steer.
  • Don't Be Alarmed by Mechanical Noises and/or Slight Pedal Pulsations
    While applying the brake in an ABS-equipped vehicle, the pedal may pulse with an accompanying crunching noise. These sensations are normal and let the driver know that ABS is working.

Retail Greater Than Fleet Program

When National Retail Customer Cash Incentives exceed the combination of National Fleet Incentives, Commercial Fleet Credits, Early Order Incentives and Special Fleet Account Credits, the Retail Greater than Fleet Program is available. Ford and Lincoln Mercury dealers can claim Retail Greater Than Fleet incentives on behalf of their eligible fleet customers. The Ford Fleet Website, http://www.fleet.ford.com, lists current payment amounts by vehicle line.

FIN Requirement

  • A Ford Fleet Identification Number (FIN) is required to qualify for National Fleet Incentives and special fleet credits and adjustments (e.g. Taurus 20F Credit). Fleet accounts may apply for a FIN code by calling 1-800-34-FLEET.
  • Leasing companies, banks, credit unions, other financial institutions and body modification companies are eligible to request national fleet incentives/credits only if the end-user FIN of the vehicle (i.e. lessee/purchaser) has met the fleet eligibility requirements and has received a FIN code. All leasing company and body modifier orders must include their own FIN code and the end-user FIN code. (Requirement applies to units ordered from production OR sold out of stock.)
  • Orders submitted with an end-user FIN code of 9Z999 are not eligible for fleet incentives or marketing credits.
  • A FIN code is required to order from fleet allocation pool.
  • To qualify for a FIN code, an end-user must EITHER:
    • Have registered or leased for use in their operation 5 or more new vehicles (any make or model) during the current or preceding calendar or model year, or preceding 12 month period, OR
    • Currently have a fleet of 15 or more vehicles, owned or leased (any make or model) in the United States, OR
    • Currently have a fleet of 5 or more vehicles, all of which are over 20,000 GVW, owned or leased (any make or model) in the United States (production allocation restricted to F650/750 vehicle line only).

In-Service Requirements

  • The minimum in-service requirement for commercial vehicles is 12 months or 20,000 miles (whichever comes first). Customers acquiring vehicles using FIN codes with or without national fleet incentives are subject to all 2002MY fleet program rules, including in-service requirements.
  • Customers who violate the minimum in-service requirement outlined in this letter (further details on http://www.ford.fleet.com) are subject to cancellation of their FIN code and/or fleet incentive charge-backs.

Regional Discounts and Special Value Packages

Regional discounts and special value packages are not available with national fleet incentives, unless otherwise stated in a separate announcement letter.

Sales Reporting

  • Major fleet sales to commercial customers with FIN codes should be reported sold with a Delivery Type "7".
  • Fleet vehicles sold to independent fleet management companies, banks, or dealer owned leasing companies who lease to a commercial fleet with a FIN code should be reported with Delivery Type "D".

Fleet Payment and Chargeback Timing Limitations

  1. Payments

    2. To be eligible for payment, national fleet incentives must be claimed within 1 year of the date of sale or lease.

  2. Review/Charge-back Period

The review/charge-back period remains unchanged for 2002MY. North American Sales Accounting Dealer Audit Staff will review fleet incentive payments and process appropriate charge-backs within the latter of:
    • 2 years from the date the national fleet incentive is paid, OR
    • 2 years from the date the dealer/leasing company reported vehicles sold with the national fleet incentive

Unsold Units Remaining In Stock

Unsold units remaining in stock 180 days after the close of the program year will be re-invoiced to deduct fleet incentives. Dealers may reapply for fleet incentives on units ultimately sold to a fleet customer.

Other

  • Regional discounts, special value packages, customer cash drafts, APR and Special RCL Lease Rates are not available with national fleet incentives, unless otherwise stated in a separate program announcement.
  • Acceptance of an order by the ordering system from a dealer or leasing company will not constitute a commitment from Ford to build a vehicle. Ford reserves the right to limit production, cancel, amend, revise or revoke any program at any time.
  • National incentives, including Commercial Fleet Credits, Fleet Marketing Credits and Fleet Special Adjustments, will be deducted from the factory invoice on vehicles ordered from production. In general, fleet units should be ordered from production; however, Ford and Lincoln Mercury dealers can request invoice adjustments on vehicles sold to fleet customers from dealer stock.
  • Vehicles must be delivered and registered in the 50 United States. Vehicles intended for shipment outside the 50 United States are ineligible for fleet incentives.
