WASTED AIR
Automakers aren’t just looking to make their cars more efficient, they’re making their plants more efficient too. Nissan created an air-leak detection squad at its factories in North America, to find and fix wasted compressed air. Believe it or not this one of the most wasted of forms of energy at car plants, even more than electricity. There are miles of hose in a plant that provide compressed air for thousands of devices. The company says this can reduce energy consumption by 25 percent within the next ten years.
