Did you know that the Subaru assembly plant in Lafayette, Indiana was the first ever car manufacturing plant to achieve zero landfill status?

Subaru Vehicles

Not only is this Indiana facility green, but so are the cars that are made in it.

Subaru offers Partial Zero Emissions Vehicles (PZEV) such as the Legacy, Outback and Forrester models.

Other green features of many Subaru PZEVs are:

• Some have lower emissions than hybrids or other green vehicles
• They are EPA Certified Smartway Vehicles
• Tight pollution controls make the exhaust out of some vehicles cleaner than the air outside

Plus, the plant was the first auto assembly plant in the U.S. to be declared smoke free.

It’s just as important to be eco-friendly when you’re making a green vehicle as when you are driving one. It’s great that Subaru recycles or reuses everything in the Indiana plant because it dramatically reduces the company’s carbon footprint.
