The total, as of March 11, 2011, stood at 49,272 recycled vehicles. Thanks to the initiative, Ford of Canada has helped to eliminate approximately 474.308 metric tonnes of smog forming emissions from being released into the atmosphere. It is anticipated, that when the program ends on March 31, 2011, Ford of Canada will have recycled more vehicles than any other manufacturer. Ford of Canada's Recycle Your Ride initiative was launched in September 2009 for any 1995 model year or older, and expanded in May 2010 for any 2003 model year or older vehicles. For those that qualify, the program currently offers up to $2,000 from Ford of Canada (2003 model year vehicles or older), plus $300 from the Government of Canada's Retire Your Ride (1995 model year vehicles or older), toward the purchase of a new qualifying Ford or Lincoln model, when you retire your vehicle. Nearly 60 per cent of the vehicles on Canadian roads today are 2003 model year or older. Based on fuel consumption values from NRCan's Fuel Consumption Guide for Canada, an average driver who moves from a typical 1995 model year mid-size car to a 2011 Ford Fusion 2.5L could save approximately $469 a year on fuel, while moving from a typical 1995 model year SUV to a 2011 Ford Escape 2.5L FWD could save approximately $889 a year on fuel. Anyone who buys an eligible new 2011 Ford or Lincoln vehicle by March 31, 2011 and who qualifies for the Ford Recycle Your Ride program, will receive $1,000 towards the purchase of a new 2011 Ford car or small SUV/CUV or $2,000 towards the purchase of a new 2011 Ford large sport utility vehicle, F-Series pickup truck or Lincoln vehicle.
