Ford Go Green Dealership Program
FEB
15

Keeping with Ford’s commitment to the environment, the company is launching a voluntary Go Green initiative for Ford and Lincoln Mercury dealers. The program makes it easier for dealers to reduce their carbon footprints and improve the energy efficiency of their operations.

Ford is working with Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) – an organization recognized as a leader in providing energy-efficiency solutions to businesses, communities and organizations around the world – at three dealerships in diverse climates.

The Go Green dealer sustainability initiative is fully integrated into Ford’s existing architecture to provide dealers with the ability to improve energy efficiency and lower operating costs.

This program is a great fit for Ford dealers because it provides a variety of energy-efficient improvement options regardless of the current age and design of the facility. This allows all dealers the opportunity to participate in improving the energy efficiency of their facility and gives them flexibility in making choices that are right for them and their dealerships.

Dealers interested in participating in the Go Green Dealership Sustainability Program will first receive a comprehensive energy assessment from sustainability experts at Ford. After the thorough assessment is completed, Ford and the dealer will collaborate on energy-saving options available and will tailor a program to meet the needs of the dealer. Solutions are wide-ranging and can be implemented for dealers with existing facilities, as well as dealers who are constructing new facilities.

Dealers who participate in the program will be able to take advantage of several benefits, including guidance on available state and federal tax credits and incentives, as well as access to technical expertise and resources to assist with selection of energy-efficient products and equipment.

What I think would be cool is if my Fence Company had all electric trucks. The amount of money I would save would be ridiculous on gasoline. My costs go down that much, so would my prices. Which would put me and my crew to work even more. Maybe even add a new crew. I save, you save, we save, the environment saves, everyone saves. Its a win win idea. I know the technology is there now, there's just not enough people on the idea yet. The first auto company that could do this for contractors, and make it affordable, would be huge. Kind of like McDonalds uses their own fry grease to drive their whole fleet of semi's. Cool stuff. Could be why they're cheaper, more popular, and are busier than everyone else. Even in a down economy people need to eat. The one's that can still provide that and keep their overhead down will stay in business, the ones that cant, well you know. Some of this technology is out there now but, its not advertised as good as it should be either. Yeah we all want a hot rod but, I watched an all electric car at the salt flats smoke everything else out there.... Not a hybrid either. That just says we're still not ready to get rid of gasoline. It's called a fossil fuel for a reason. I think it's time we moved on. Even in an all electric world there will still be a need for oil. Those guys just dont want to take the back seat, or even the middle. If they were riding in my truck, I'd kick them out....just saying, I think there needs to be more emphasis on all electric. And cater one all electric for the hot rod enthusiasts. I seem to remember a story about the first logging trucks way back in the day being all electric because the ICE was too inefficient, it lacked horsepower. All the other lacked was battery technology. The ICE is cold, haha.:) (the ICE, is the Internal Combustion Engine, for anyone who may not know).
