Ford Evos Concept Review

In its worldwide debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2011 is the concept of Ford Evos the ultimate expression of Ford design language new world, and explores important vehicles, and future technologies.

Creating a custom concept car led the Ford Fastback, language first truly global conception that the dynamics of the business plan Ford to build products on.

“The concept of the Ford Evos combines three essential elements that are at the heart of our strategy of Ford global product A: excellent design, smart technology and fuel management,” said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president of product development world.

“With its superior design and innovative technology experience, this is a clear demonstration of the exciting vision we have for the Ford brand. While you are never the car on the street, the next generation of Ford products in the world show many ideas for unique design and advanced technologies presented. ”
Ford Evos Concept is not just a design exercise. It also embodies the design team at Ford Global Product Development and moves on to develop vehicles more than just an indoor and outdoor use, or a collection of attributes.

“Our goal is to focus on the enrichment of a customer experience with their vehicles – through personalized, customize and create unique properties and unexpected surprise and pleasure,” said Kuzak. “In the concept car Ford Evos, this goal is explored and expanded the area of ​​connectivity, where the intention is not to convert the vehicle into a Smartphone, but for personal and secure connection to the outside world designed the Care for a rewarding way to complete the context of vehicle.”

World Ford Research and Innovation team, led by Paul Mascara was introduced to the concept of construction of the Evos for an experience technology as visionary as the design load. The result shows how Ford wants to build the dynamic innovations such as SYNC in-car system.

“If Ford defined the future of technology in the car on the experience it offers to the driver and passengers,” said Paul Mascara, CTO and vice president of Ford Research and Innovation. “We see technology as more than just an impressive list of microprocessors, sensors and software, but the application of this technology in an experience driver to provide better time behind the wheel.”

The concept of experience in technology includes a new generation of driver interaction and perception in the development of the Ford Research Laboratory and innovation. Seamless connection between the vehicle and the driver’s personal cloud “of information is at the heart of the vision of its capabilities.

“The possibilities are fascinating if we explore how to make a seamless link between home lifestyle, office and car through the driver’s seat to access personal data,” said Mascara.

With information from the cloud, the vehicle driver will experience the same lifestyle connection at home or office. The car knows the driver and automatically adjusts to management controls, steering and engine for an outstanding dynamic driving experience.

Ford researchers are focusing their efforts in this area in four main benefits customers: personalization, seamless extension of the driving experience, seeks to optimize the driver’s welfare and the provision of electric drive smart.

During today’s Ford products provide drivers with many options for personalization, connectivity will cloud future Ford vehicles in the experiment to proceed to the next step.

Draw a detailed understanding of preferences and driving habits of drivers, combining the concept of Ford Evos personal information with other data from the cloud, such as driver’s hours and the local traffic or weather. This information represents a unique and transparent as pilot transitions into and out of the car.

“We are examining how we can design or preferences of the driver to use the phrase to make life easier,” said Mascara. “The car is to know you and can act as personal assistant to some of the usual routine of commuting to act under control.”

It would automatically play the same music or news program that was only streaming for domestic heating or cooling within or at the ideal temperature, before the driver gets in without being asked by the prediction time departure according to schedule. Wireless communication devices at home, he could close the garage door and the lights turn off automatically when it moves away.

“The combined vision of cloud shows the enormous potential for adaptation of the driving experience, tailored to the precise personal taste and mood of the driver,” said Mascara. “On the recommendation of a major highway of his friends on social networks or to reset your clock you will sleep in a morning session stopped!”

Ford explores the notion Evos adaptive technologies to define the driving experience. Current technology requires that the vehicle chassis adjustments based on the abilities and preferences of a section of the conductors and the topography of the typical streets are defined. The concept provides for the handling and performance tuning, and the specific case of road behind the wheel.

Learning driver habits and skills, technology can overlay the map and meteorological data from the cloud came to the transmission, to adjust the steering, suspension and braking systems for pleasure, comfort and safety optimal. As the vehicle is adaptive and ground for maximum performance based on the situation, it takes a commitment to lead to a new level.

Ford researchers have technologies that focus on the welfare of the driver, such as the headquarters to monitor heart rate and Certified Allergy-developed interior. With a seamless connection to the cloud, oversees Ford Evos concept of fitness and ability of the driver and adjusts the driving experience accordingly.

“Our welfare-oriented research and technology to relieve stress and increase driver awareness of their situation,” said Mascara. “Drivers around the world spend more time behind the wheel and the car should not be another point of stress in their lives.”

The concept of Ford Evos is also equipped with advanced sensors air quality, and filtration systems to help allergy sufferers. Location aware, it can access data in air quality from the cloud and proactively suggest a healthier way to the goal.

In situations of dynamic driving the vehicle can simplify the appearance of the dashboard only necessary to measure the driver information display and switch connected phone “Do Not Disturb” to help focus attention on the road.

Fill out the vision for the concept car Ford Evos is a state of the art lithium-ion plug-in hybrid (PHEV) power train, so the next generation of performance and fuel economy than the Ford C-MAX Energy for introduction in North America in 2012 and planned in Europe in 2013.

Ford POWER SPLIT “hybrid architecture allows all the electric motor and gasoline engine, or work separately to maximize efficiency’s Powertrain Advanced generally run all-electric mode before switching to hybrid-bearing calculation mode for the most optimal fuel consumption.

Cloud of connectivity would be new opportunities to improve performance and efficiency by choosing the optimal combination of propulsion for a particular trip.

“Having access to a historical driving behavior and travel patterns allows us to identify the optimum fuel consumption and energy calculated by predicting the target,” said Mascara. “Our researchers are working hard to increase understanding of driving behavior, to develop detailed protocols for predicting and improving the journey through the intelligent use of fuel cells or batteries for the situation.”

The drive train cloud optimized automatically “know” where to save power and modes of switching, predicted information about the condition of the road vehicle, not an environmental restriction zone during the trip and current weather conditions.

In the future, municipalities may permit restrictions on the types of farm vehicles using certain roads or lanes to, and choose a few urban centers may be open only to fully electric vehicles. Help drivers such rules might be that some of the benefits of this technology. For example, the French government is considering mandatory areas of low emission, while cities like London, Berlin and Stockholm have already in place.

This ability to further improve the performance of the advanced technology of Ford PHEV, which offers a general line of over 500 miles (800 kilometers) to the battery and motor – more than any other plug-in or a car extended-range electric vehicle.

“With its advanced ‘cloud optimized” hybrid powertrain battery provides outstanding efficiency and the range of maximum driving pleasure, the concept of Ford Evos underscores our vision for greener, more intelligent vehicles with outstanding customer to speak ” said Kuzak.

The notion of Ford Evos has been developed specifically to meet the new Ford design direction forward. Key design elements will be applied to future Ford vehicles.

The new global design DNA, the company provides global design teams with a common framework for the creation of new products to drive, so they share a coherent family of vehicles to make the distinctive character same basic design.

“We wanted to give this concept a clear message to Ford Evos, which Ford design guides – design vehicles that are fun to drive, have a high premium optical and, especially, are breathtaking,” said J. Mays, vice president, Design and Chief Creative Officer.

“Our new design has been developed and refined the DNA through an intensive effort by our team of talented design world,” said Mays. “As a team we wanted to help shape a more technical language, please with smart technology that is now at the heart of the Ford brand to create. In addition, we have worked very hard to meet the high expectations of a new generation of buyers -. A group of consumers who have grown up surrounded by beautiful, high-end design of the work itself to providing affordable products, ”

To visit the vehicle due to introduce the new design language, Ford was the concept of the Evos as a dramatic fastback concept and design combines a striking profile with new innovative proportions. Catchy lines are a unique new format, with four doors, four-seat layout that combines the dynamic with amazing convenience.

“This body style is a new and exciting interpretation of the Fastback, with a truly innovative and dramatic silhouette and modern proportions,” said Mays.

With the length of a C-type car, but with a width of a CD drive, the concept of Ford Evos has a powerful, sporty look. The position in front of the hood, windshield and rounded pillars into more opportunity for designers behind the impression of a classic car to create GT, but with a very modern decor.

The concept of folding doors in spectacular style doors, front and rear, providing excellent access to the spacious cabin with four seats. The concept car measures 4.50m (177in) long, 1.97 m tall (77in) wide and 1.36 m (53In), with a wheelbase of 2.74 m (108IN). Form as the ultimate expression of the DNA of a new design, says the concept Ford Evos key elements of the language distinctive new Ford global design.

“Marked the new design DNA introduced a bold evolution of kinetic design language in the world of existing products and Ford will be a number of important elements that contribute a distinctive look to the future of Ford invented” Mays said.

Face, the concept of Evos immediately reported to the arrival of Ford something new – a new look for Ford trapezoidal grille mounted above the car and the creation of a self-awareness, more upscale look.

Bold, fact sheets, such as very thin ‘laser-cut “in front of lights or the dramatic image of the window front and back through the piece of thin glass of the roof connected set, add a distinctive character of the design stress. Sculpted edges careful surface detail, giving a refined and tighter as a more muscular.

“The concept of Ford Evos essential elements of the new overall design language embodies, while capturing the dynamic, fun to drive spirit that the focus of Ford’s DNA,” says Executive Design Director Martin Smith. “Particularly noteworthy is the brand new” face of Ford, “with its trapezoidal grille mounted over, and the design is bold with the use of very strong technical graphics. We also created surface much finer and more accurate, and these elements combine to give a strong visual sense of quality.

The vehicle was cut with the same purity of the surface sculpture and attention to detail, premium cars are noted. Around the world a new generation of buyers has come to expect high-end design in all products, regardless of the purchase price.

Guided by the spirit of fun to drive, its exterior design, the interior of the Evos concept built around the Ford driver. A sleek and innovative cockpit promises a new level of driving pleasure and the interaction of the driver.

The interior design offers clean surfaces and simple, with a muscular, athletic character of the thin upper dashboard, enhanced by bold trapezoidal cutouts. Contrasting forms muscular, sweeping the surface of the cockpit display scans both sides of the driver side and provides information on the vehicle and infotainment systems.

The concept proposes a bold red driver’s seat and the driver’s vision of unprecedented interaction via an advanced interface to the driver. The two rear passengers also get a special experience to interact with individuals touch screens with the car and individually adjustable sports seats.
