RESTON, Va., July 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Leidos (NYSE:
LDOS), an infrastructure, national security and health solutions
company, is supporting Ford Motor Co.'s energy efficiency efforts
through a new $5.7 million energy
savings performance contract. The project will optimize the HVAC
system at Ford's Livonia Transmission Plant in Livonia, Michigan.
The Livonia Transmission Plant employs more than 1,550 people,
building a six-speed transmission that is used in a number of
products including Mustang, F-150, Transit and Expedition. Work at
the 3.3 million-square-foot plant is scheduled to be completed in
the fourth quarter of 2016.
"This project aligns with Ford objectives to identify and
implement energy waste reduction projects," said Jeff White, Ford corporate energy efficiency
manager.
In 2012, Ford established a five-year objective to improve
operational energy use per vehicle globally by 25 percent by the
end of 2016. Ford uses performance contracting as a financing tool
to upgrade and replace infrastructure at its plants, commercial
buildings and research facilities. The approach enables the company
to replace inefficient equipment while funding the capital
investment over time through the energy savings provided by the new
equipment.
"Our commercial and industrial clients are recognizing the value
and savings that lighting, HVAC, refrigeration, pumps and motor
upgrades can provide for their overall energy efficiency efforts,"
said Jim Moos, senior vice president
for Leidos' Infrastructure, Environment and Security business. "At
the Ford Livonia plant, our experts' in-depth knowledge of Ford's
HVAC systems and processes will enable us to implement a solution
that will deliver meaningful results into the future."
