Are you environmentally aware? Is recycling part of your everyday agenda? If you appreciate efforts to help conserve energy and reduce waste, you'll love the idea behind Queens' Socrates Sculpture Park. An abandoned riverside landfill and illegal dumpsite in the '80s, this section of Queens was one of the borough's biggest sore spots. In order to rectify this urban decay, a collation of artists banded together to create an open-air studio and exhibition space for up-and-coming local talent. Today, Socrates Sculpture Park is the only site in Miami Florida Airport dedicated specifically to the exhibition of large-scale art. Customers of
The NYC 15 Seat Vans Agency

2009 Ford
E-Series: Ford’s class-leading
E-Series full-size van delivers
even more functionality for 2009
thanks to a redesigned
instrument panel that includes
four new upfitter switches and
class-leading convenience
features like integrated
navigation system and SIRIUS
Travel Link™.
E-Series updates include a
redesigned instrument panel and
console, door trim panels with more
storage, built-in auxiliary switches
users can customize, wider-opening
rear doors, more comfortable seats,
a first-in-class factory-installed
navigation system and Ford Work
Solutions – a collection of
technologies aimed at making
business and fleet owners more
productive and successful.
“Continuously listening to our
customers and delivering solutions
to meet their unique vehicle and
business needs are the driving
forces behind Ford’s commercial
vehicle leadership,” said Kevin
Koswick, director, Ford North
American Fleet, Lease and
Remarketing Operations. “Today, more
E-Series are on the road with
250,000 miles or more than vans from
any other manufacturer. Smart
customers know that E-Series deliver
the durability, cargo capacity,
flexibility and technologies that
make these the most capable
full-size vans on the market.”
‘Built Ford Tough’
E-Series Delivers More
Understanding E-Series is the van
of choice for a range of customers –
from small business owners to custom
upfitters to larger commercial fleet
operators – Ford is offering new
features and technologies to make
work and travel more productive and
convenient. They include:
- Four industry-exclusive
Ford Work Solutions
innovations:
- An in-dash computer
developed with Magneti
Marelli and powered by
Microsoft Auto that provides
full high-speed Internet
access via the Sprint Mobile
Broadband Network and
navigation by Garmin. It’s
the first broadband-capable
in-dash computer in
production and features
available wireless
accessories including a
mouse and printer. This
system allows customers to
print invoices and access
documents stored on their
home or office computer
networks – right on the job
site.
- Tool Link, a
Radio-Frequency
Identification (RFID) asset
tracking system developed
with DEWALT, the industry
leader in professional power
tools, and ThingMagic, the
industry expert on embedded
RFID technology. This
enables customers to
maintain a detailed
real-time inventory of the
tools or equipment stored in
the vehicle.
- Crew Chief, a fleet
telematics and diagnostics
system, which allows small
fleet owners to efficiently
manage their vehicles,
quickly dispatch workers to
job sites and keep detailed
vehicle maintenance records.
- Cable Lock security
system developed in
partnership with Master
Lock®, the industry-leading
lock manufacturer, to secure
large tools or equipment in
the cargo area of E-Series
vans and wagons.
All four Ford Work Solutions
technologies also will be available
this fall on the new 2009 Ford F-150
XL, STX, XLT and FX4 trucks;
F-Series Super Duty XL, XLT and FX4
pickup trucks. Transit Connect vans
join the lineup in mid-2009.
- A navigation system
integrated into the instrument
panel with a 6.5-inch touch
screen display. This is
available for the first time in
E-Series along with SIRIUS
satellite radio.
- SIRIUS Travel Link,
an industry-exclusive feature.
When coupled with navigation,
this system provides a
collection of data services
including real-time local
traffic, coast-to-coast weather
conditions and fuel price
information for more than
120,000 gas stations.
- Reverse Camera
System, which mounts a
small camera at the rear of the
vehicle. It’s activated when the
van is shifted into reverse,
giving the driver a clear view
behind the vehicle. The video
image is displayed in the
navigation screen on vans
equipped with that option or in
the self-dimming rearview mirror
on vans without the navigation
system. The screen image
includes an industry-first
centerline and colored guides,
which provide the driver a
better perspective of the
vehicle’s center point and
periphery.
Comfort and Convenience
Built Into the Interior
For 2009, the E-Series features a
tougher, more functional interior
that better reflects its exterior
design, which was improved for 2008.
New features include:
- A new, more user-friendly
instrument panel and center
console.
- Even more storage, cleverly
integrated throughout.
- Redesigned door trim
panels feature integrated
second-bin compartments. A
contents-retention strap
helps secure items in the
driver’s door.
- The instrument panel has
a new storage tray above the
passenger air bag.
- The center console
doubles the usable storage
space of the previous
version – and now includes
three larger cup holders
that can accommodate a wider
variety of cup/mug sizes, an
integrated clipboard holder
and space for a laptop.
- Four new optional
user-defined switches on the
dashboard and a more efficient
wiring harness, which make it
easier for upfitters to
integrate aftermarket features
such as auxiliary lighting.
- An optional audio input jack
on the instrument panel that
connects E-Series to MP3 players
and other portable audio
devices.
- A new glove box that
provides still more storage and
a second power point.
- A new message center
available in E-Series vans and
wagons that features standard
vehicle maintenance information
as well as miles-to-empty and
fuel economy numbers. The
message center is standard on
vans equipped with the 6.0-liter
Power Stroke® V-8 Turbo Diesel
engine and includes an
engine-hour meter that keeps a
running total of engine use,
even during idling.
“Customers let us know what an
important tool their E-Series can be
taking care of business, and that’s
why we’ve continued investing in
these vehicles, building on the
suspension and chassis improvements,
new cargo management system upgrades
and improved exterior design we
delivered on E-Series for 2008,”
Koswick said. “Beyond these new
technology-based solutions, though,
we haven’t overlooked ways to
improve the essential elements of
E-Series vans.”
Core upgrades include:
- A new door system
that makes it easier to move the
rear doors to their full-open
position. A detent in the system
allows the doors to be held open
at 95 degrees and when needed,
they can be opened to 172
degrees with a simple push. This
allows full access to the rear
cargo area.
- More fueling options.
E-Series full-size cargo vans
equipped with 4.6-liter and
5.4-liter engines are capable of
running on E85 (85 percent
ethanol and 15 percent
gasoline), pure gasoline or any
blend in between – a segment
first. All E-Series engines are
designed to meet 2010 emissions
standards.
- Added safety
equipment, including a
new optional, dash-mounted
front-passenger air bag cutoff
switch on vans and cutaways;
standard AdvanceTrac® with RSC®
(Roll Stability Control) on all
wagons and recreational vans and
optional on commercial vans with
gasoline engines; and an
optional factory-installed
integrated trailer brake
controller that allows direct
operation of the trailer’s
electronic brakes by squeezing
the control module on the
instrument panel with more
confidence than typical
aftermarket systems.
