Ford first unveiled the Evos
Concept car at the 2011 Frankfurt International Motor Show. Soon South
Africans who attend the 2013
Johannesburg International Motor Show (JIMS) at NASREC next month will also
be able to view it live. Evos may not be built, we don’t know yet. But some of
its design elements and technologies will definitely be seen in
upcoming Ford products.
“The Ford Evos Concept was specifically developed to
introduce the new Ford design direction while also showcasing future smart technologies. While you will
never see this car on the road key design elements and innovations will be applied to forthcoming Ford vehicles,” says
Ford South Africa Marketing Manger Gavin
Golightly.
One of these smart technologies is the ability of the car to
communicate with different machines and human beings through cloud computing. A feature that uses
cloud is the heart-rate monitor
under the seat covers, which obviously keeps check on the driver’s heart rate
and will communicate should there be
a need to.
The car can also “learn”
your habits as a driver, including your preferred everyday routes, and can
thus make suggestions to the hybrid powertrain
as to which route is best at any particular point in time, thus saving time and fuel.
“The Ford Evos concept gives us an insight into the future
of Ford products and the exciting design
and smart elements that we can look
forward to. I have no doubt that the South
African public will be eager to view the Evos Concept first hand and the
Johannesburg International Motor Show taking place in October,” concludes
Golightly.
