Commitment to the Environment

Only three percent of man-made ozone comes from four-cycle petrol engines. However, Briggs & Stratton continues to strive to reduce that number even further, by continually upgrading and testing its engines and urging consumers worldwide to regularly tune up their mowers and other outdoor power equipment.
