Carbon Motors considers energy efficiency, sustainability, and environmental responsibility to be central to its core values. In
support of these values, the Company is actively advancing green
initiatives on multiple fronts in the development of the Carbon E7.
Law enforcement vehicles consume 1.5 billion gallons of gasoline, and emit over 14 million tons of CO2 every year - Carbon’s E7 will reduce both by up to 40%.
The utilization of recyclable plastics, and eliminating the need for an on-site paint facility that emits Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Carbon Motors will save the equivalent of over 17,000 homes worth of electricity during the manufacturing process.
Carbon Motors will re-use vehicles (certified used), re-use parts (dismantled vehicles), and recycle vehicles at end-of-life (over 95% recyclable) providing for a closed-loop cradle-to-cradle process.
By cleaning up and re-using a contaminated brownfield site and re-using equipment for light industrial assembly operations, the Carbon Campus will achieve LEED certification.
The Carbon Green Machine is committed to environmental responsibility.
The Company will rehabilitate and refurbish a shuttered
manufacturing facility, which will result in the remediation of significant
trichloroethylene (TCE) contamination resulting from prior ownership of the
facility. The use of a co-molded, colored film in the manufacturing process
eliminates the need for a painting facility and the release of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs) normally associated with those types of operations.
Additionally, clean diesel is the technically correct short to medium-term solution
for law enforcement fleets that operate 24/7, 365 days a year, due to its inherent
performance, safety, operational, fuel efficiency, and durability characteristics.
