Ford Motor Co. said today that it is providing the “The Jay Leno Show” with its all-new battery electric Ford Focus for a season-long contest called the Green Car Challenge, the Detroit Free Press reported.
Ford said celebrities will drive the car as a way to showcase Ford’s leadership on fuel efficiency and electrified vehicles, the paper noted. Ford is the only automaker participating in the challenge and will provide four specially made cars for the show, the Free Press said. Ford said the cars foreshadow elements of the electric Focus that the Dearborn automaker will begin selling in North America in 2011.
While the new Jay Leno show debuts Monday, Ford spokesman Mark Schirmer said the Focus will likely make its first appearance Sept. 18, the story said. (Detroit Free Press)
