The most advanced Ford Super Duty to date, has officially been revealed. The incredible new truck was unveiled to a live audience at the State Fair of Texas in Dallas on September 24, 2015. Throughout the presentation, the all-new Super Duty was continuously referred to as the "toughest, smartest, and most capable Super Duty, ever."
The all-new Ford Super Duty will come with a high-strength aluminum alloy body, saving up to 350 pounds. For the first time ever, Super Duty will have a fully boxed steel frame. With taller cross sections, through-welded crossmembers, and up to six-times more high strength steel, this new frame is built to last and will be up to 24 -times stiffer. The truck will also come equipped with bigger axles, larger brakes, upgraded suspension, an upgraded fifth wheel hitch, and a reinforced cargo bed. That means, the Super Duty just got even tougher.
As previously mentioned, the all-new Super Duty has been highlighted as the "smartest" Super Duty, ever. The truck will come with a host of features, including blind spot monitoring for both the truck and a tailer, tire pressure monitoring for both the truck and a trailer, adaptive cruise control designed to function even while towing, and SYNC 3. The vehicle will also feature seven cameras, with the ability to display a 360-degree view, and 180-degree split views on both the front and back of the truck. Other camera features include a camera washer, a zoom feature, and a remote camera that can be attached to the back of a trailer. With features like these, it's clear that this truly will be, the "smartest" Super Duty, ever.
Though the truck is still a year away from launch, it's projected to tow more, and have the highest payload rating of any Super Duty, ever. Along with a new design and a truck-load of new features, the all-new Ford Super Duty is sure to be a truck you can count on. By the time consumers get their hands on this truck, the Super Duty will have been tested for the equivalent of 12 million miles. All of this is done to make sure you get a hardworking truck that gets the job done.
Ford is now utilizing the advances in 3D-printing technology, while saving millions and creating higher quality products. The innovation of 3D-printing is now contributing to the innovation of vehicle design and production. Engineers now have the ability to, more freely, experiment with prototypes to maximize quality, reduce time, and produce at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods.
Science fiction may seem like the only place that something like 3D-printing can exist. Now 3D-printing is becoming an increasingly viable reality. The process involves printing plastic, sand, or various other materials in thin layers. As the printing takes place, the thin layers are stacked on top of each other, until a full three dimensional object is made. Ford is utilizing this technology to shave off months of prototype development time in various parts, including intake manifolds and cylinder heads.
Engineers at Ford are 3D-printing parts that represent production parts. As a result, engineers have more freedom to experiment with prototypes. For certain parts, prototypes take multiple months, and hundreds of thousands of dollars to create using traditional methods. Now, with 3D-printing, the same prototypes can be produced in a matter of days and cost only a few thousand dollars. What this means for you, is even higher quality products. Now that engineers have an increased ability to optimize prototypes, production parts will be of higher quality. Production parts also have the opportunity to become lighter because of this optimization, which means better fuel economy for you.
Ford is taking a revolutionary step toward the future. The implementation of 3D-printing is already making strides toward increasingly optimized vehicles. Though the process isn't quick enough for production, it has shown major benefits for prototypes. One of the next steps is experimenting with metal printing. If 3D-printing has come this far, who know's what Ford will accomplish in the future? Ford is no stranger to innovation, and 3D-printing is showing major opportunities for the future of vehicle production.
Transportation is constantly evolving. You likely know Ford for the variety of cars, trucks, and SUV's they offer. Now, Ford is continuing to contribute to the evolution of transportation with a new concept. Smart bikes are some of the latest developments coming from the innovative minds at Ford. The new MoDe:Flex, designed to be part of a bike enthusiasts lifestyle, is the latest addition to the trio of ebikes, preceded by the MoDe:Me, a collapsable commuter style ebike, and the Mode:Pro, a courier style ebike. With a host of unique features, the MoDe:Flex is a step toward the future of transportation.
The MoDe:Flex is part of a new Ford development called "Multi-Modal Urban Mobility Solutions." The idea is to create a cohesive, convenient, journey within urban environments through the use of multiple forms of transportation. This ebike connects with your smartphone via the MoDe:Link app.
Through the use of the app, you have access to hands-free navigation, weather conditions, time, and traffic information, all while riding a bike.
The smart bike also connects with your smartwatch. Through the use of a smartwatch, your heart rate is tracked and is used with the feature known as "no sweat mode." No sweat mode is any urban commuters dream. As your heart rate is tracked, the bike responds with its electric pedal assist. The ebike is equipped with a motor and battery that help to alleviate fatigue while riding. That means, you don't have to worry about drying out your work shirt after your morning commute anymore.
While riding this ebike, you'll also receive safety notifications. For example, the pothole warning system will cause the handlebars to vibrate and the smartwatch to beep. The bike is also fitted with ultrasonic sensors to warn you of approaching cars from the rear. Innovative technology like this is designed with your safety in mind.
With a futuristic design and a variety of unique features, the MoDe:Flex is an innovative addition to the world of bikes and transportation. The MoDe:Flex is meant to adapt to the ever-changing preferences of consumers in a world that is becoming increasingly congested with traffic. City commuters will have another option for getting to work that is intended to make the experience safe and comfortable. As society changes, so will the designs at Ford so you can Go Further.
