7.Valladolid Body Assembly (Spain)
 In 2007, VOC emissions per vehicle fell by 26 % on 2006 through the use of water-based paints. That reduction came on top of a 45 % decrease in VOC emissions between 1998 and 2007 attributable to : incinerating gases with energy recovery, recycling solvents, installing a new oven, applying electrostatic paint, introducing water-based paint technology. actions to reduce VOCs....
 
8.Bursa - OYAK
 The following steps have been taken to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) : recovery of automatic purges from application machines, accountability of cleaning companies for the use of solvents, introduction of technologies making paint application more efficient, use of a distillation column to recycle dirty solvents. switch to water-based paint in September 2007....
 
9.Using water-based paints
 Using water-based paintsUsing water-based paintsAir pollution is one of the main ways in which an automotive plant impacts on the environment through the emission of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).. VOCs are emitted throughout the painting process, in the application booths and the baking ovens....
 
10.Protect air quality
 Cut these emissions at source by : - upgrading paint application processes, in particular by introducing water-based paints ; - cutting the use of solvents through a new-generation electrostatic process. This solution, implemented at the Pitesti, Bursa and Valladolid plants, has reduced consumption of basecoats....
