1.3 Commercial and Legal Aspects
1.3.1 Terminology
NOTE: Any modifications to the vehicle must be
noted in the owner's handbook or new descriptive
literature included with the owner's
documentation.
Vehicle Converter refers to any re-seller altering
the vehicle by converting the body and adding or
modifying any equipment not originally specified
and or supplied by Ford.
Unique component or similar wording refers to
non-Ford specified or after sale fitment not
covered by Ford warranty.
1.3.2 Warranty on Ford Vehicles
Please contact The National Sales Company in
the country where the vehicle will be registered
or refer to the vehicle Owner Guide for details of
the terms of any applicable Ford warranty.
The Vehicle Converter should warrant its design,
materials and construction for a period at least
equal to any applicable Ford warranty.
The Vehicle Converter must ensure that any
alteration made to a Ford vehicle or component
does not reduce the safety, function, or durability
of the vehicle or any component.
The Vehicle Converter shall be solely responsible
for any damage resulting from any alteration
made by the Vehicle Converter or any of its agents
to a Ford Vehicle Component.
The Vehicle Converter releases Ford from all
claims by any third party for any cost or loss
(including any consequential damages) arising
from work performed by a Vehicle Converter
unless Ford has given its prior written consent to
such liability.
1.3.3 Worldwide Harmonized
Light-Duty Vehicle Test Procedures
(WLTP)
The WLTP is replacing the NEDC (New European
Driving Cycle) test procedure that has been in
force since 1992.
WLTP takes into account individual optional
equipment for weight, aerodynamics and rolling
resistance, which have an impact on the fuel
consumption and exhaust emissions. For
incomplete and complete conversions, WLTP will
now take into account the completed option
equipment. Vehicle Converters now have a new
responsibility to recalculate the CO2 and fuel
consumption for any completed vehicle by either
using a tool provided by the OEM or contacting
the OEM to obtain new values.
To determine the new values in line with WLTP,
registered customers will now be able to access
Ford’s multi stage WLTP calculation tool via ETIS.
For further information and registration please
contact your Ford National sales representative
in your market.
It is advisable to control the weight, but without
deteriorating other vehicle attributes and
functions, (especially those related to safety and
durability). It is also advisable for you to contact
your local type approval authority for any
questions related to the application of WLTP to
multi stage conversions under regulation 2007/46
and single vehicle approvals.
For some incomplete and complete vehicles.
Speed limiters have been fitted to ensure robust
emissions compliance with WLTP and on road
emissions requirements. Where speed limiters
have been fitted to ensure emissions compliance
they should not be removed or delimited. For
further information, please contact your Ford
National sales representative.
For additional information:
•
Refer to: 1.7 Vehicle Duty Cycle Guidelines
(page 14).
•
Refer to: 1.12 Package and Ergonomics (page
20).
•
Contact your Ford National sales
representative.
1.3.4 Emissions Performance &
In-service compliance
The emissions regulation 715/2007, as amended
by 2018/1832, now includes new requirements for
completed vehicles with regards to emissions
performance and in service compliance. Ford has
developed an emissions envelope that the Vehicle
Converter must stay within.
For further information please contact your Ford
National sales representative. It is advisable for
you to contact your local type approval authority
for any questions related to the application of
WLTP to multi stage conversions under regulation
2007/46 and single vehicle approvals.
1.3.5 Whole Vehicle Type Approval
(2007/46/EC) Regulations
Fitment of Parts and Accessories
NOTE: Ford parts fitted in the plant are covered
by the Certificate of Conformity (CoC).
