the last guy had no hope.
his speaches showed he had no knowledge or passion towards what he was in charge of.

Did you know that ABS doesnt slow the vehicle when you have a brain malfunction and forget to push the brake??
some dont ha ha ha ha ha

when i commented that ford use bosch systems, it was in reply to sam saying fords systems are crap. bosch are respected for having good systems.

Yes, but VSC will not activate ABS without your foot on the brake.

He appears to be a good choice for the top job at Ford AUS.

and on that The Salesman,
dont ford still use Bosch ABS systems???

Sam,
you were never driving a territory on a dirt road at all were you??
everything you have said totally stinks of lies. if you want to make up B/S, you might want to know some background on the B/S you are speaking of

Now with VSC, ABS might work without you even having you foot on the brake in some circumstances.

VSC or vehicle stability control is a separate system that uses a steering wheel sensor, speed sensor on each wheel, and rotation sensor, the information is sent to an on board computer 80 time a second.. The system will apply the brake to one or more wheels individually depending on the feed back from the sensors to correct under steer and over steer, it will even reduce power to the wheels through the transmission, it works in conjunction with TC, ABS it does in NO WAY control ABS separately.
The system was designed by Bosch and used in Grand Prix cars before it was cheap enough manufacture for use in mass produced cars.

Now with VSC, ABS might work without you even having you foot on the brake in some circumstances.

A modern Mercedes, for example, can apply different levels of braking to some wheels, whilst delivering driving power to others, all at the same time, all without your foot on the brake.

So given that ABS these days might be fitted to work in conjunction with many other vehicle stability control systems and the fact that there has been a long developmental history, its anyone’s guess, Salesman, how many different types there really are.

It would be foolish to assume that Ford ABS is as good as or operates the same as ABS in a Mercedes, the inventors and industry leaders in this field

You make alot of bold statements,

Sam says,
Actually Andrew ABS can be calibrated to operate differently on broken surfaces to sealed surfaces but I wouldn’t expect you to know that, nor Ford Australia for that matter.
In another incident on a dirt road the ABS didn’t want to slow the car down at all an i nearly drove right off the track!
What I mean is that some cars can detect whether they are on a loose surface or not so that when ABS is activated it works slightly differently.

Sam, my question to you is.

Please explain how many ABS systems there are, I am keen as I am sure so is Ford motor company is to draw from you pool of knowledge.

Your eager student,

The Salesman

Please read man oh man calm down. My typing if off today!

Of h man calm down.

It will however have an impact at the company canteen.

And no this is not a personal attack on the man. He won’t read it, so it’s not personal!!

But as I was saying;

Good luck to him, hope his expertise from being in the Small Car division at Ford means we’ll get the full suite of Fiesta models (right up to Titanium).

Would be nice to have a Fiesta-sized car with a much larger car’s luxury equipment and refinement etc (within reason of course =p)

fair comment on interest rates etc,
but you neglect that the lower interest rate generally applies to vehicles up to 2yrs old.

also a 2 yr old vehicle is easily 10K cheaper
