With small touchscreens employees on the line provide further information on the status of their workplace.
In addition to initiatives that reduce emissions, water usage and energy consumption, all electricity and natural gas required to operate the plant is 100 per cent certified renewable electricity 2 and biomethane. Ford Motor Company is targeting carbon neutrality across its European production footprint of facilities, logistics and direct suppliers by 2035.
