The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety announced today it has awarded Ford Motor Company's (NYSE:F) 2012 Focus a "Top Safety Pick" rating.
It is Ford's twelfth vehicle to earn the award. The announcement comes a day after the Euro NCAP gave the new Focus its maximum 5-star overall safety rating after concluding its tests on the car.
"We were committed from the beginning with the new Focus to design and engineer a vehicle that leads the way both in terms of technology and safety," said Gunnar Herrmann, Global C Car vehicle line director. "The inherent strength of the new Focus is the structural rigidity of the body and its extensive use of high-strength steels."
The body of the vehicle is comprised of 55% high-strength steels, of which 31% is the ultra-tough boron steel. That percentage is higher than any other Ford vehicle built to date.
