Ford Soy Foam Seat Cushions in the News Again

The 2011 Ford Explorer will feature soy foam in its seat cushions and seatbacks. The bio-based polyurethane foam will be one of the new, eco-friendly features in the Ford Explorer which goes in to production later this year. ?The new Explorer will deliver fuel economy at least 25 percent better than the current model as well as include sustainable materials like soy foam seat cushions and other eco-friendly features we will detail soon,? said Amy Marentic, group marketing manager, Ford cars and CUVs.
