Those of us who still wait for some presents brought by Santa should know that Ford is trying to help him complete his mission while greening up his attitude and methods.

Acknowledging the fact that Santa can be considered a major polluter, the team has converted the Evos concept into a turbo sled meant to replace the old one, Autobloggreen informs.

The 123-horsepower, 125 pound-foot 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will definitely offset his carbon footprint, since Ford manufacturers reveal the new prototype could decrease Santa's high level of emissions by up to 191,843 tons.

Quite a lot, taking into consideration that Santa's annual trip generates 214,670 tons of CO2 every year, in an attempt to distribute gifts to 267 million homes.

For those who have found nothing under the Christmas tree, there still is hope. Santa is trying to go green and get his hands on the new turbo sled before delivering new packages.
