MEDIA INVITATION
Australia's most fuel efficient car
completes Global Green Challenge
THE most fuel efficient car in Australia, the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic, will complete the final leg
of the Global Green Challenge on Friday, October 30, arriving into Victoria Square in
Adelaide at approximately 2pm.
With an official fuel economy rating of only 3.7L/100km, the fuel efficiency of Fiesta
ECOnetic surpasses all other vehicles currently on sale in Australia, including petrol/electric
hybrid models.
It also produces fewer CO2 emissions than any other conventional, internal combustion
engine vehicle, with an official CO2 emission rating of 98 grams per kilometre making it
only the second vehicle in Australia to achieve CO2
emissions under 100g/km and the only
non-hybrid vehicle to attain such an ultra-low CO2 standard.
During the 3000km Global Green Challenge from Darwin to Adelaide, the Fiesta
ECOnetic has cemented its position as Australia's fuel economy leader, achieving
figures as low as 2.9L/100km during the longest leg of the event.
Media are invited to attend the finale of the Global Green Challenge at Victoria Square in
Adelaide as the Fiesta arrives at approximately 2pm. The final official results of the
Challenge will be available later that day.
Interviews will be available with Peter McKay (Motoring expert and Fiesta ECOnetic co-driver
in the Challenge), and Ford Australia Global Green Challenge Team Manager Justin Lacy.
