Boron Extrication An in-depth look into vehicle extrication and rescues involving today's automobiles
Like many other automakers, Ford uses boron and other ultra-high-strength lightweight steels in various structural areas on several of its current models. These models including the Ford Taurus, Flex, Mustang, Transit Connect, F-150 and Focus, as well as the Lincoln MKS. When the new Fiesta hits the US market in 2011, Boron will also be extensively used to help protect occupants in the event of a collision. Below is the 2011 Ford Fiesta Body Structure.
