Ford Motor Co. creates dealership sustainability program

Feb. 16 -- Ford Motor Co. is creating a dealership sustainability program to cut operating costs and lower carbon footprints at individual locations.

The "Go Green" dealership sustainability program will work with Ford and Lincoln Mercury dealerships to improve energy efficiency at their sites.

"In keeping with Ford´s commitment to the environment, this program is a great fit for our dealers because it provides a variety of energy-efficient improvement options regardless of the current age and design of the facility," says Sue Cischke, group vice president of sustainability, environment and safety engineering.

Ford will start with a pilot program with three dealers in Florida, New York and Nevada.
