Worldwide Facility CO2 Emissions

Target: Various regions are developing mandatory targets, and this makes it difficult to set a global corporate target for greenhouse gas emissions. Voluntary manufacturing greenhouse gas emission targets apply (see Commitments and Requirements). Our energy efficiency index target also has the effect of driving reductions in CO2 emissions.

NOTES TO THE DATA

Chart A and Chart C

Data have been adjusted to account for facilities that were closed, sold or new. These data do not include Automotive Component Holdings (ACH). These data have been adjusted to remove Jaguar and Land Rover (JLR) in consideration of the pending sale of these brands.

Chart B and Chart D

Energy consumption and CO2 emissions per vehicle divides energy used or CO2 emitted by the number of vehicles produced. Averaging energy and CO2 emissions by the number of vehicles produced yields a somewhat imperfect indicator of production efficiency. When the number of vehicles produced declines, as it has since 2000, per-vehicle energy use tends to rise because a portion of the resources used by a facility is required for base facility operations, regardless of the number of vehicles produced.

We believe that stable-to-declining per-vehicle energy use and CO2 emissions indicate that more-efficient production since 2000 is offsetting the tendency of these indicators to rise during periods of declining production. This interpretation is reinforced by our Energy Efficiency Index, which focuses on production energy efficiency, and which has been steadily improving. Our Energy Efficiency Index target also has the effect of driving reductions in CO2 emissions.

These data do not include our Automotive Component Holdings (ACH) facilities. Also, the data have been adjusted to remove Jaguar and Land Rover (JLR) in consideration of the pending sale of these brands.

Chart E

The Index is "normalized" based on an engineering calculation that adjusts for typical variances in weather and vehicle production. The Index was set at 100 for the year 2000 to simplify tracking against our target of one percent improvement in energy efficiency. This data have been adjusted to remove Jaguar and Land Rover (JLR) in consideration of the pending sale of these brands.
