Brickell Motors, proudly featuring the 2011 GMC Terrain, maintains that the effectiveness of Terrain’s parts help not only its fuel efficiency, but the environment as well.

With gas prices rising, Miami 2011 GMC Terrain owners can take solace in the compact crossover’s segment-leading EPA-rated 32 highway mpg, achieved in part by the use of lightweight eco-friendly parts. Terrain also has one of the quietest interiors in its segment thanks in part to plant fiber-reinforced ceiling liner and recycled textile insulation in its carpet assembly, dashboard and cargo area. Terrain demonstrates GMC’s commitment to delivering professional grade performance in an environmentally responsible package.

“We’re not just using renewable and recycled materials for the sake of being ‘green,’” said Lora Herron, GM bio and recycled materials engineer. “They often are more energy efficient to manufacture than parts made from virgin materials, and they can be lighter weight as well, which helps improve fuel economy and reduce CO2 emissions.”

If you’re thinking of a new 2011 GMC Terrain in Miami, you’ll be pleased to know that the rigid substrate between Terrain’s steel roof and the soft fabric headliner uses kenaf fiber as reinforcement. Kenaf is a rapidly renewable plant sustainably cultivated in south Asia and is hollow like bamboo, which makes it an effective sound dampener. In addition, kenaf-reinforced substrates weigh less and use less energy to manufacture than those using glass fibers.

GMC Crossover’s Lightweight Recycled and Renewable Materials Also Absorb Noise

Much of the sustainable material on Terrain insulates the interior from external noise. When Miami 2011 GMC Terrain drivers go at 70 miles per hour, Terrain’s interior is quiet enough to allow conversation in normal tones of voice.

Terrain uses an acoustic insulator made with cotton and polyester recycled from varied consumer products, including jeans and carpet. The material insulates Terrain’s dashboard, carpet, cargo area and other body sections as well as parts made with more petroleum-based raw material. As insulation, it is 50 percent lighter and easier to recycle.

GMC also uses recycled plastic from soft drink and water bottles in the rigid plastic grille frame behind Terrain’s unique chrome-trimmed grille. It also is as strong and durable as a part made from all-virgin material, and it meets all impact and load requirements. GMC only uses parts made from sustainable materials if they meet the same high standards as parts made from virgin material.

Terrain’s sustainable attributes extend to recycling some of the post-industrial scrap produced from making the sound absorber in Terrain’s doors and mixing it with used tires to make air baffles on GMC’s Sierra pickup trucks and Yukon sport utility vehicles. Terrain, like all GMC vehicles, is at least 85 percent recyclable by weight, with recycled steel accounting for the greatest contribution. In fact, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), automobiles are among the most-recycled consumer products, with more than 95 percent of all end-of-life vehicles in the United States processed for recycling – compared to 52 percent of all paper and 31 percent of all plastic soft drink bottles.

Brickell Buick GMC, a leading GMC dealer in Miami, is pleased to announce GM’s latest philanthropic efforts.  After hearing of the massive earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the General Motors Foundation quickly put together a contribution to the American Red Cross relief fund.

The GM Foundation gave a $500,000 contribution to the American Red Cross relief fund on top of their earlier contribution of $250,000 to the Red Cross as a supporting member of their Disaster Responder program.

GM also has provided a direct web-link that employees can access from their desktop work stations to contribute personally to the Red Cross disaster fund.

“Humanitarian relief is an important part of the Foundation’s work and we’re answering the call for help in the wake of such terrible devastation,” said John T. Montford, Chairman of the GM Foundation and Senior Advisor for Government Relations and Global Public Policy.  “There is remarkable compassion among GM employees, and I know that same spirit will make a difference in helping the Japan relief effort.”

For over three decades, the GM Foundation has provided financial support to the U.S. and cities around the world affected by natural disasters.  Most recently, the Foundation has contributed to relief efforts towards the earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand and Haiti and floods in Tennessee and Kentucky.

Since its inception in 2000, GM Global Aid, funded by the GM Foundation, has facilitated millions of dollars in donations for disaster relief worldwide.  Through this program, GM and its national and international business units and the GM Foundation can quickly direct vehicles, services, or supplies, as well as monetary contributions, to charitable organizations assisting in local disaster relief efforts.
