Ford Kuga Product Sustainability Index (PSI) Fact Sheet
Ford is taking a leading role in the automotive industry by using PSI as a basis for permanent evaluation and improved sustainability performance for all new generations of Ford vehicles. The new Ford Kuga is the fourth Ford model designed according to PSI. This fact sheet provides an overview on the Kugas performance in all three sustainability areas: Environmental, social and economic performance.
With the Product Sustainability Index (PSI), Ford of Europe introduced a groundbreaking approach to how the vision of sustainability can be made operational for product development. From the earliest stages in a new vehicles development, Fords PSI tracks eight product attributes identified as key sustainability elements of a vehicle. When the new PSI approach was launched with the development and market introduction of Fords new S-MAX and Galaxy models
in 2006, an independent, external study evaluated Fords PSI as a positive step which aims to provide a full sustainability assessment and as being compliant with ISO 14040, the international Life Cycle Assessment standard. All future Ford of Europe vehicles will also be developed with PSI in mind.
