If you want be part of a greener future, start by changing how you move from one place to another. Among the alternatives of sustainable mobilitythere are public bicycle networks, the increasingly popular electric skateboards, car sharing and hybrid and electric vehicles.
Why is it so important to rethink the way we get around? Because the combustion of coal, natural gas and oil translates directly into carbon emissions that pollute the environment and cause the greenhouse effect.
The first step to change for a greener future is for there to be more sustainable initiatives. Thus, more and more people will be able to opt for these new ways of moving. Ford is one of the companies that bet on electric vehicles. In fact, they are one of the pillars of his plan to be carbon neutral by 2050.
The automobile company has made a commitment to limit carbon dioxide emissions and balance them with carbon removal in the next 30 years. As announced in its 21st Annual Sustainability Report, it plans to achieve this focusing on three areas that account for approximately 95% of its emissions: the design and innovation of its vehicles, the management of its supplier base and the type of energy it uses for its facilities.
In addition, you are investing more than US$11.5 billion in vehicles electrical by 2022, including zero-emission versions of its most popular models, including the Transit Commercial EV, the electric F-150 and the Mustang Mach-E, with a range of 480 km on just one charge. With these vehicles, the automotive company seeks to change the way people move for a cleaner one.
In addition to electric vehicles, Ford offers hybrid models, like the SUV Kuga Hybrid and the Mondeo Vignale Hybrid, both available in the Argentine market. Both are powered by two motors, one electric and one internal combustion, which reduces emissions.
Hybrid technology also allows improve autonomy and reduce consumption, since it uses the electric motor or the internal combustion one according to the power demand. The transition from electric to hybrid mode occurs automatically and imperceptibly.
100% renewable energy
As important as the mobility eco friendly It is the type of energies that are used. In this line, Ford has proposed to use the 100% renewable energy for all its production plants by 2035.
In Argentina, the company is already operating with representative amounts of wind energy and projects that by the end of 2020 the renewable energy used in its Pacheco Plant will reach an annual average of 64%.
Companies, industries and consumers leave a mark on the environment. Since there is no planet BIt is important that we question ourselves how we move, what we consume and what we discard. Taking care of the environment is also valuing our life and that of the next generations.
