U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Improved Environmental Performance has today recognised a total of eight Toyota manufacturing plants for achieving 10% reduction in energy intensity through Energy Star Challenge for Industry program. These eight facilities include -Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas (San Antonio); Bodine Aluminum (Jackson, Tenn., and St. Louis, Mo.); Toyota Motor Manufacturing Alabama (Huntsville); Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (Cambridge and Woodstock, Ontario);Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana (Princeton) and Toyota Motor Manufacturing West Virginia (Buffalo).
To gain entry to Energy Star Challenge for Industries companies must be Energy Stat partners. Energy intensity is calculated on the basis of efficiency improvements in process and equipment and only granted to individual industrial sites.
Toyota has been instrumental in this regard thanks to reduced energy use per vehicle. The company has been working on these lines over the past five years and their efforts have finally paid off even though the company endeavors to continue with these efforts and achieve even greater efficiency in the years to come.
