Ford’s PZEV Focus

Out of respect for Ford, we will follow up yesterday’s not-so-charming report on the Ford dealership warranty fraud with a heart-warming reference to Ford’s PZEV Focus. In an attempt to raise awareness about Ford’s Focus model’s direct comparison to hybrid fuel efficiency, Ford is smacking PZEV labels on its Focus in California.

Along with auto manufacturers’ attempts at lower fuel emissions comes the mandatory requirement that the car must be covered by an extended warranty for a minimum of 15 years or 150,000 miles. According to the article cited in Auto Spectator, the manufacturer must provide this warranty to cover the PZEV standard in a guarantee that the car will remain emissions conscious.
