to us environmental care comes naturally care for the environment is one of ford s oldest concerns long before it became fashionable or required by law we were questioning established practices and searching for better more efficient alternatives like so much of our philosophy the concept of sustainability dates right back to our founder henry ford a man who could not abide unnecessary waste driving into the future lighter quieter and using less fuel with lower emissions today s ford engines create less impact on the environment than ever before our smooth quiet and economical passenger car diesel engines comply with the strict euro iv-emissions regulations while at the same time improve the overall performance indeed our new galaxy 2.0 duratorq tdci 140 ps diesel engine develops higher torque than its predecessor while producing even less carbon dioxide co2 emissions a natural approach to alternative fuel imagine a car that runs on renewable fuel derived from sugar beet cereal or wood shavings impossible then think again ford has been successfully selling the focus flexi-fuel in sweden since 2001 where sales now account for 80 of all focus models sold the 1.8-litre car which can run on petrol bioethanol or a mixture of the two offers a 70 reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to a petrol model without any loss in performance because bioethanol fuel is plant-based the co2 emitted at the tailpipe is broadly equal to the co2 absorbed while the plants were growing recycling for good legend has it that henry ford used timber from old packing cases to build floors for the model t today the average ford vehicle includes more recycled material than ever across our european vehicle range more than 300 parts are made from recycled non-metallic materials this helps to safeguard raw materials and diverts unwanted waste from landfill sites combined our use of parts manufactured from recycled and renewable materials kept almost 35,000 tonnes of waste out of landfills a breath of fresh air in our bid to provide the healthiest car interiors possible the ford focus and focus c-max along with the new ford s-max and galaxy were the first cars worldwide to receive the allergytested interior seal of approval from the tÜv the german independent testing and assessment organisation not only that but the certification has also been confirmed by the british allergy foundation by combining materials that are free from harmful emissions together with pollen and dust filters the interiors provide the perfect allergy-friendly environment for sufferers of asthma hay fever or contact allergies such as eczema when less means more what impact does a new vehicle have on air quality over its lifetime how much noise will it produce when it
