Ford unveils a new SmartGauge – An LCD gauge for its 2010 line of Hybrids



Ford has unveiled an innovative LCD gauge cluster called SmartGauge with EcoGuide that will debut in the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid and Mercury Milan Hybrid. This is cool way for drivers to maximize fuel economy; SmartGauge with “EcoGuide” uses an all-digital, LCD screen instrument cluster with lively animations to prompt drivers on good driving habits by displaying heavily stylized greenery for good behavior. The gauges can be customized to display whatever real time data the driver wishes to see.


Considering the recent sales slump and the GM Chrysler merger at the horizon, we sure hope that Ford lives through the days of recession and comes up with new green cars.
