1.Santa Isabel
 The reduction in emissions to water can be attributed to a downturn in activity as well as a quality assurance programme implemented at the site's effluent treatment plant, with, in particular : measures to make added reagents more reliable, an awareness-raising programme for personnel, an improved surface treatment process, the implementation of lead-free electrocoating, recycling of electrocoating (reducing the effluent waste)....
 
2.Envigado - SOFASA
 In 2007 water use was optimized by a new surface treatment tunnel and a higher process recycling rate, which saved 50,000 m3 of water over the year....
 
3.Batilly Sovab
 This result was achieved through rigorous monitoring of the meters in the buildings and water-saving efforts across all sectors (especially in the surface treatment process, where ultrafiltration modules now make it possible to reuse wastewater as rinsing water after it has been de-oiled).... Furthermore, all the large boilers on the site (the boilers in the central boiler plant and the surface treatment boiler) are fitted with low-NOx burners....
 
4.Douai
 In 2006 the plant launched ultrafiltration of surface treatment dips....
 
5.Maubeuge (MCA)
 Since 2003, the products used in the electrocoating surface treatment process have been replaced by products....
 
6.Sandouville
 Water consumption has been falling steadily since 1998. In 10 years, it has decreased by 73 %. Water consumption per vehicle fell from 6.8 m3 / veh. in 1998 to 3.1 m3 / veh. in 2007, which is a 55 % reduction.Actions and resources implemented : installation of closed-loop cooling circuits, reduction in water consumption at the surface treatment process level (introduction of clean technologies such as ultrafiltration), discontinuation of the use of drill-water, improvement in operator behaviour..
 
7.Novo Mesto - REVOZ (Slovenia)
 This result was achieved by implementing the following measures : making personnel aware of the need to save water, using the best technologies on the new TTS line, lowering water consumption, reusing wastewater for surface treatment to top up the salting-out pits, recycling all cooling water, optimizing all consumer processes, especially TTS and electrocoating, optimizing distribution networks....
 
8.Valladolid Body Assembly (Spain)
 Action has been taken in several different areas : introduction of a separate sewer system with gate valves ; osmosis and ultrafiltration in the paint process ; a plan to reduce the use of chemicals ; use of biodegradable products ; effective control of flow and pollutant loads ; technical improvement of the facilities for treating wastewater produced in surface treatment ; the removal of lead from the electrocoating process. an installation that continuously measures COD in the assembly plant ; an operational protocol for emissions to water (engine and bodywork / assembly plants)....
 
9.Moscou - AVTOFRAMOS
 This water is used directly for human consumption and some industrial processes (cooling circuits for welding machines, some steps in the surface treatment process).... This water is also used to produce demineralized water for the surface treatment and electrocoating dips....
