Ford's announced its plans to apply green efforts to 2008 Mustangs, not with hybrid engines, but seat backs and cushions made of soy-based materials. Working alongside Lear Corporation, Ford's new soy-foam seats are made of twenty-four percent renewable content with a more energy-efficient production process that churns out less CO2 than today's standard practice that makes heavy use of petroleum-based polyol foam. Production of the soy seats is planned to start in August, in conjunction with the '08 Mustang roll out.
