  3. Alternative Fuels

  4. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) • Reduces dependence on foreign oil • Provides performance similar to gasoline or diesel • Burns cleaner than gasoline or diesel • Infrastructure not widespread • Fast-fill stations are expensive to build and face regulatory hurdles • Time-fill stations are useful for fleets • Home fueling not yet practical

  5. Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) • Reduces dependence on foreign oil • Provides performance similar to gasoline or diesel • Burns cleaner than gasoline or diesel • Turns waste into fuel • Infrastructure not vehicle-oriented • Exists for other uses • Some concern with cold-weather performance

  6. Ethanol • Locally sourced • Easily distributed through existing channels • Burns cleaner than gasoline or diesel • Sourcing is controversial • Using food crops raises concern • Well to Wheels environmental impact • Even when it’s available, customers choose gasoline

  7. Biodiesel • Waste to fuel • Easily distributed through existing channels • Provides excellent energy density • Quality is not standardized • Purity of any diesel fuel is critical • Many types of biodiesel are possible • Cold weather performance suspect

  8. Sustainable Materials

  9. Renewables/Biomaterials Poly Lactic Acid (fabric, resin, carpet) Biobased Resins • Natural Fiber • thermosets • thermoplastics • Soy • foams • thermoset resin • fillers Hemp Switch grass Flax Soybeans Ford specifies renewable materials where function and cost are maintained or improved

  10. natural fiber reinforced PP EnviroSeat: Sustainable Components

  11. Ford chooses to address sustainability issues in the products we make, how we make them and the people who are impacted by them. We understand that consumers have these same choices. We strive to offer mobility solutions that support our customers, both present and future. The Power of Choice 11
