Ford Earns Energy Star Award

Ford has again been honored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for energy efficiency:

• Ford Motor Company earned its fifth straight ENERGY STAR® Award for Sustained Excellence from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
• Actions that have enabled Ford's energy efficiency gains range from updated heating and lighting systems to advanced computer controls
• In 2009, Ford improved energy efficiency in the U.S. by 4.6 percent resulting in savings of approximately $15 million. Actual savings due to plant shutdowns were higher, but Ford measures energy efficiency as energy consumed per vehicle. Since 2000, Ford's U.S. facilities have improved energy efficiency by more than 30 percent. That's equivalent to the annual energy consumed by more than 110,000 homes.
