Ford Continues Going Green

At the Los Angeles Auto Show, Ford's Alan Mulally has expressed the automaker's goal towards protecting the environment via green vehicles. The automaker has developed new generation of engines which produces power equal to the output of larger engines. And more recently, the automaker has joined the Suppliers Partnership for the Environment.

"The Suppliers Partnership for the Environment is very pleased to announce that Ford Motor Company has joined SP," said Randy Leslie, Vice President & General Manager, Johnson Controls, Inc. and SP's Chair according to The Auto Channel. "SP continues to grow by providing economic and environmental value to all levels of the automobile supply chain."

Leon Richardson, President, Chemico Systems, Inc who is the chairman of SP's membership committee has this to say: "One of the exciting things about this announcement for SP is that Ford Motor Company now joins Chrysler and General Motors in providing their leadership to SP. SP's mission is to reduce our member companies' environmental footprint and do so in a way that will provide economic opportunity for the automobile supply chain. We welcome Ford Motor Company participation in SP and are we will continue to work to encourage other leadership companies to join the organization."

Meanwhile, Andrew Hobs, director for Environmental Quality Office at Ford said: "Ford Motor Company is pleased to be part of the Suppliers Partnership for the Environment. We believe that our membership in SP is another indication of Ford Motor Companies continued leadership in global environmental and sustainability activities that improve the environment while providing increased economic opportunities for the automobile supply chain. We look forward to working with SP and helping the organization expand its reach within the automobile supply chain while addressing important environmental and sustainability issues within the automobile industry."
