BOARD MEETING DATE: June 21, 2002 AGENDA NO. 2
In response to this information, staff is proposing that Calendar Year (CY) 2002 1^st quarter Rule 2202 AQIP funds be allocated to assist in the purchase of the 84 Rule 1194 compliant vehicles. Staff calculated the emission reductions associated with the purchase of a new natural gas ULEV Ford Crown Victoria compared to an existing pre-owned TLEV gasoline-powered Ford Crown Victoria. The emissions reductions on an annual basis are provided in Table 1. The emission calculations are based on estimated annual miles traveled of 60,000 miles. The total funds of $1,175,370 would assist in the purchase of up to a total of 84 vehicles (49 standard P72 models and 35 extended range P72 models) assuming that the maximum buydown would be $13,000 for the standard model and $15,382 for the extended range model. A maximum funding assistance of $13,000 is requested based on the cost of a P72 model year 2002 natural gas Ford Crown Victoria and does not include any additional options that may be available with the vehicle. In addition, the $13,000 per vehicle buydown represents the maximum cost if the taxicab operator is not able to access Ford's fleet incentives or volume purchase discounts. For the extended range model, an additional $2,382 per vehicle is needed to cover the cost of the extended range tank. The total first quarter Rule 2202 AQIP funds available is $1,842,582. Staff is requesting that up to $1,175,370 of the first quarter Rule 2202 AQIP be set aside to assist taxicab operators with the purchase of natural gas Ford Crown Victoria vehicles.

Statement of Clarence M. Ditlow Executive Director, Center for ...
Although Ford has tried to mislead the public into believing the fire crashes in Crown Victorias are unsurvivable due to high speed, they are generally survivable because the Crown Victoria has so much crush space and strong seats to absorb the energy of the crash. By placing the fuel tank in the energy absorbing crush zone, Ford converts a survivable 80 mph trauma crash into a fatal fire crash. Last 4th of July, Cobb County GA Officer Greg Abbott's 1998 Crown Victoria was rear ended by a 18 wheel truck. The crash jammed the doors and set off a fire ball. Shielded momentarily from the flames by a Plexiglass security screen, Officer Abbott miraculously escaped without a scratch by climbing out the broken passenger window. The parallels between the infamous Pinto and the Crown Victoria are uncanny. Both have the same problem – a gas tank located behind the rear axle in the crush zone where any number of objects can puncture the tank, dislodge the filler pipe or severe the fuel lines. Both identified hex bolts as a potential puncture mechanism. Ford defended both using selected statistics from FARS, the Fatality Analysis Reporting System. Both failed internal Ford tests. Both resulted in numerous product liability lawsuits and national media attention.
