2012年最值得關(guān)注的汽車新聞
福特“油耗門” 今年12月,《消費(fèi)者報(bào)告》雜志(Consumer Reports )和一些獨(dú)立評測人員發(fā)現(xiàn),福特的Fusion和C-Max混合動力車的實(shí)際油耗也與廠家宣稱的數(shù)字不符。廠家宣稱福特Fusion和C-Max的油耗為每加侖47英里,但實(shí)測后發(fā)現(xiàn),F(xiàn)usion每加侖汽油只能跑39英里,C-Max更是只能跑37英里。福特則回應(yīng)稱:“駕駛方式、駕駛環(huán)境和其它因素都能導(dǎo)致油耗變化?!泵绹h(huán)保局(EPA)表示將介入調(diào)查,而一旦確定福特的確涉嫌虛假陳述,福特可能將面臨民事處罰。 譯者:樸成奎 |
Hypermiling, lap #2 In December, Consumer Reports and some independent reviewers found that Ford's Fusion and C-Max hybrids can't match their mpg claims either. Instead of the 47 mpg Ford (F, Fortune 500) claimed, the Fusion got 39 mpg in real-world testing, and the C-Max got 37 mpg. Ford's response, in part: "Driving styles, driving conditions, and other factors can cause mileage to vary." The EPA said it would investigate, and Ford could face civil penalties if it was found to have misstated claims. |
