The 2014 Ford Fusion has a few differences from the 2013 version. The most obvious changes this year are to be found under the hood of the sedan, with the introduction of a new four-cylinder 1.5-litre #EcoBoost engine. Ford has stated that this engine's fuel economy is better than that of the current 1.5-litre EcoBoost, and offers a significant reduction in engine noise.

At last week's Green Living Show in Toronto, AJAC- Automobile Journalists Association of Canada announced the winner of the first annual Canadian Green Car Award. Winning the award was the Ford Fusion hybrid. Originally among a pool of 15 environmentally advanced vehicles that were submitted by their respective manufacturers, the Ford Fusion hybrid beat out four other finalists- Volkswagen's turbocharged clean diesel Jetta, Mazda's Mazda3 highly efficient compact, the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, and the Ford C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid. Ford says that the Fusion hybrid is an important vehicle in their line-up, offering their eco conscious customers innovative technology and leading fuel economy packaged in a sleek and desirable design. This year's award the first of it's kind, the Canadian Green Car Award will be an annual competition. The aim is to provide Canadian consumers with information about vehicles that show potential for advanced levels of environmental benefits.

The finalists in each of the six 2023 World Vehicle of the Year categories have been announced. Once again this year, there is a very strong Korean presence in several of the categories. The winners will be announced at the New York Auto Show in early April.

Ford wants to triple production of its F-150 Lightning in 2023. This comes after the company managed to build only 15,000 units of the electric pickup, short of the 40,000 initial goal. With supply-chain issues slowly disappearing, the automaker wants to be churning them out at a rate of 150,000 units per year, by the end of this year.
