BRENTWOOD, Essex, 14 April, 2008 – Advanced systems which alert the driver if a tyre is losing pressure while the car is in motion are providing Ford customers with safer motoring.

Ford's sophisticated tyre pressure monitoring systems detect when a tyre is deflating, and trigger in-car warning systems that enable the driver to stop and check.

Even regular tyres checks can fail to reveal if a tyre is damaged or already punctured. Ford's automated system is able to monitor the tyres at all times when the vehicle is in use and can help to draw the driver’s attention to a problem before it becomes a safety issue.

BRENTWOOD, Essex, 2 April, 2008 - The first of 600 Ford Galaxy seven-seaters has been delivered to Addison Lee, the UK's biggest private hire and chauffeur company. The high-specification Ford Galaxy 2.0 TDCi auto models are set to enter service at the rate of about 60 per month until the year-end.

Two long-term Galaxy demonstrators have notched up around 30,000 miles each with London-based Addison Lee, which covers the entire M25 area and the capital’s airports.

“We’ve had extremely good feedback from the drivers,” says Addison Lee's fleet manager Rob Daniels. “They like the Galaxy’s comfort, quietness, fuel economy and the flexible accommodation, including the five fold-flat seats. They’re just good all round.”
