Ford Hints Aggressive Drive to Cut Auto Emissions
Ford Motor Co plans to deploy 11,000 workers and spend 31 million dollars to curb pollution from cars and plants, with 30 million more in 1970 for plant emissions. Henry Ford II says government must back the effort and notes battery and gas turbine experiments but favors the piston engine for now. Sales expectations for 1969 show about 9.6 million U.S. cars, with 1970 projections at 9 to 9.5 million. Ford also outlines a planned integrated Dearborn urban community and a 75 percent cut in racing expenditures in 1970.
