Ford’s fuel-efficient diesel engine is Daniel’s choice

Ford is supplying 130 Ford Focus and Mondeo models to Daniel Contractors Ltd, a support services company operating in the utilities, marine, civil engineering and energy sectors across the UK and overseas.

Daniel chose Ford vehicles after a review of its fleet,
which highlighted the company’s need for a more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly fleet, allied to lower cost of ownership.

Sean Bingham, Principal Consultant for ERA Fleet Cost Management, who helped Daniel to review the market, 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."

“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 ECOnetic Technology cover a range of new developments aimed at reducing CO2 output whilst increasing fuel economy. These technologies include Ford auto-start-stop, smart regenerative charging and Ford’s Eco Mode, which monitors gear change, anticipation and overall speed to encourage a more fuel-efficient driving style.
