QUOTE * World’s first Tri-Flex fuel engine: 12 percent better fuel economy, 99 percent fewer CO2 emissions in hydrogen mode and 500 miles between fill-ups * Bold, American design and innovation: Underscores the design and innovation that will define all Ford vehicles going forward * New level for interiors: Just as F-150 set the standard for vehicle interiors, the F-250 Super Chief concept shows Ford interior innovations for the future FORD F-250 SUPER CHIEF CONCEPT: A BOLD, AMERICAN FLEX FUEL PICKUP THAT DELIVERS TOMORROW'S FUEL TODAY DETROIT, Jan. 8, 2006 – The Ford F-250 Super Chief concept takes truck leadership to a new level – as the world's first vehicle with Tri-Flex fueling, enabling the supercharged V-10 to run for 500 miles between fill-ups on hydrogen, E85 ethanol or gasoline. The tri-fuel flexibility is one possible innovation by Ford to help pave the way for hydrogen vehicles, as the nation's ethanol and hydrogen fueling infrastructure continues to develop. The concept truck and its name are inspired by the bold, American Super Chief trains of the nation's past. Super Chief is Ford's most advanced, well-appointed pickup ever – designed to build on the standard for interior excellence established by the new F-150. Super Chief features an interior paneled in American walnut, brushed aluminum and bold brown leather. Convenience features include bold light-emitting diode (LED) headlamps, a full glass roof and automated ottoman. Technology Innovation in a Bold American Wrapper The Ford F-250 Super Chief concept boldly foretells a new era for pickup trucks that Ford intends to lead with bold, American design and innovation – as it has for nearly three decades. "F-250 Super Chief pays tribute to the bold optimism that is part of the American character," says Peter Horbury, executive director, North America Design. "The F-250 Super Chief's innovations pave a new path for the American truck. It's a notion – and a modern design – so bold, it could only come from Ford."

Number of downloads: 2Running on hydrogen, the supercharged V-10 engine provides up to 12 percent fuel economy improvement on an energy equivalent basis versus a non-supercharged gasoline V-10 – and nearly 500 miles per fill-up. In addition, when operating on hydrogen, the Tri-Flex V-10 generates 99 percent less CO2 emissions than when running on gasoline. Hydrogen is the ultimate clean fuel of the future. It is not only the cleanest fuel, it is the most abundant element on Earth. E85 ethanol is a domestic, renewable, greenhouse gas-friendly fuel. "The Tri-Flex fuel engine encourages the development of the hydrogen fuel infrastructure for the best future mobility solution," says Dr. Gerhard Schmidt, vice president, Research and Advanced Engineering. "It also drives the expansion of the domestic ethanol E85 fuel production and availability and, of course, provides our customers the convenience of gasoline until these other fuels become more readily available." The Tri-Flex system leverages existing powertrain technologies in which Ford has long held leadership. Since 1996, Ford has led in production and sales of flex-fuel E85 ethanol/gasoline vehicles. Ford has built more than 1.6 million flex-fuel vehicles that operate on any mix of E85 and gasoline.

It IS ugly but the technology is good. I hope the slow pace at which American auto makers have been going in regards to fuel economy starts to catch steam and pick up the pace or else they will all be out of business shortly.
Thanks for posting this lenny. |

That's one of the fugliest cars I've seen.
The interior reminds me of that custom interior Jeremy fitted into that Mercedes in Top Gear: The Ann something Cottage. Why does it have a windows pedal anyways?

I had a similar question, what pressure are the H2 tanks? I ask this question because the pressure helps determine the range of the vehicle.
EDIT: Found the info myself. It turns out that this truck was announced January 2006, which says Fords a little slow in implementing their tech. In any case, the truck could store 11.6 kg of H2 at 700 bar but it will only last 5-10 miles. Check out the tech specs at Green Congress This post has been edited by Jeremy221: May 24 2008, 05:11 AM |

It's dumb and typical of the US manufacturer's head in the sand attitude.

It looks like those trucks you see on Trick My Truck. Only it's not an 18 wheeler.
I love watching Trick My Truck.
