Government help could boost biofuel production at Ford
Jul 12 2010
Ford is taking a £450 million loan from the European Investment Bank, £360 million of which is guaranteed by the UK government, as part of a five-year mission to raise the use of low-carbon technologies in its engines.
Business minister Mark Prisk says: "Ford has an impressive track record in research and development.
"Its investment of £1.5 billion over the next five years is a great opportunity to take the lead in developing low-carbon manufacturing."
Ford already has a corporate sustainability plan that includes a commitment to developing biofuel vehicles, with 14 models already available using the renewable energy source.
By 2011, a mid-term goal for the company on the global stage is to see it fully implement the low-carbon technologies that are already known to it.
