Sustainability 2012/13
Greening Our Products
As we are a customer- and product-driven company, our vehicles are the foundation of our business. Our products are also the source of our most significant environmental impacts, and are the focus of our efforts to reduce those impacts. In this section we report on the current environmental performance of our products and our efforts to “green” our products, or improve their environmental impacts.
Specifically, we address:
- Our Sustainable Technologies and Alternative Fuels plan, which lays out our plan to improve the fuel efficiency of our products and advance the use of alternative fuels including electricity and bio-fuels.
- Vehicle fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions progress and performance, following our vehicles + fuel + driver = GHG emissions approach to understanding vehicle emissions during the “use phase” of a vehicle’s lifecycle.
- Non-carbon-dioxide tailpipe emissions, including hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and particulate matter that can contribute to smog formation and other air-pollution issues.
- Sustainable materials, including efforts to increase our use of recycled and renewable materials, improve vehicle-interior air quality and eliminate substances of concern.
- Our approach to electrified vehicles, which includes hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid electric and all-electric vehicles.
