Writing a report in class 12 is a very crucial and compulsory task provided by NEB, so
every student gains knowledge practically. I enjoy writing this report very much. A
student like me who enjoys writing gains knowledge. There was no practice of fieldwork
assignment in the former 2-year programs. Now, I should be grateful to say that the
standard of our class 12 level has become graduation level.
I would like to express my genial respect to MR. Ahok Bhandari subject teacher and
report advisor of the National Collage of Computer Studies and my grateful for their
valuable suggestion to prepare this report.
I would like to extend my deep appreciation and all the cordial thanks to all these
teachers, friends, collage staff and the librarian staff who directly helped me in
completion of these studies
Thank you Samir Pandey

2.5 Safety Regulation of Ford
As the road conditions of south east Asian countries are very bad a car needs to be very
sturdy in design and should have better build quality and better suspension than European
models. But the quality of automobiles in Nepal and India is degrading day by day. Many
cars manufacturers don’t consider adding safety features in cars. Most of the cars
imported in Nepal have very bad build quality and most of the cars have only 2 star
safety rating and some of them even don’t do safety test approved by global standard but
only claim that their cars have supreme build quality. Ford being a globally renowned
brand focuses on the build quality of their vehicle. Ford vehicles are priced little higher
but the safety they provide at that range is incomparable to other cars. 70% of the people
while buying car in Nepal don’t care about the safety. Many people go for mileage and
economy but the major factor of higher sale of ford cars in Nepal is because of their
supreme build quality and higher safety than other cars. Some of the safety features
provded by the ford cars are as follow:
1. Airbags
Ford cars come with driver, passenger, curtain and side airbags - that’s 6 in all, to give
your family the protection it deserves. The Ford Endeavour, in fact, comes with an
additional driver's knee airbag as well. All with advanced sensors that ensure a swift and
controlled response on impact.
2. Emergency assist
Emergency Assist is a potentially life-saving component of Ford SYNC. In the unlikely
event of an accident that activates an airbag or shuts off the fuel pump,
SYNC Emergency Assistance automatically calls emergency services and shares your
exact GPS location.
3. Better Braking
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
balance brake force between front and rear wheels and prevent wheels from locking. This
increases the overall stability of the vehicle and easy to cruise in high speed without any
worries. Anti-lock Braking helps to come to a sudden stop without locking the tires
which improves control over the vehicle.
4. Superior material
All Ford vehicle’s fuel lines are manufactured with alloys that are more conductive,
which prevents sparks. Fuel tanks in Ford vehicles are reinforced and laid out in a manner
that ensures that they remain intact even on impact. Additionally, fuel supply to the
engine is cuts off automatically in case of any impact on the fuel tank.
5. Better wiring
9
Ford vehicles use only thick gauge wires to enable better load distribution and higher
load capacity. Special wire clamps are imported to satisfy the highest standards of safety
we set for ourselves at Ford. Additionally, the wire insulation has a special anti-static
coating that keeps electric impulses flowing without any chance of accumulation.
