Ford Shifts Focus to Soy-based Cushion Covers
Here is something that most SUV owners are sure to love. Especially if you are a Ford addict, if you buy a new Escape or Mercury Mariner, you will be gifted with a new soy-based cushion cover and will be the first ones to have this feature in the market.
Ford has a lot of planning to do as far as planting their carbon footprints on their vehicle line and what better way to do it other than to start with your top selling vehicles in the market.
Ford wil introdue new soy- based foam seats on its Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner in 2009. These cushions are wrapped in 100 per cent recycled fabric, the first such seats in the automotive industry.
“As Ford continues to migrate soy-based foam seat inserts across many vehicle platforms, we’re improving our environmental footprint by conserving limited resources and reducing carbon dioxide emissions,” said Debbie Mielewski, technical leader, Ford Plastics Research.
