It's a weekly ritual of mine to check the official Chevy SS page for updates, unfortunately there wasn't much aside from what i copied and pasted below.
2014 SS Sports Sedan: High-Performance Sedan | ChevroletCheck out its Ecologic features. Here at Chevrolet, we believe in being a responsible steward of our environment. We’ve developed a way to communicate some of the environmentally significant features of each vehicle we make. We call it Ecologic.

Every aspect of Ecologic is audited by Two Tomorrows, an independent third-party sustainability auditor. To learn more about Ecologic and the Two Tomorrows process, click here. (it wasn't clickable on Chevy's website)
Fuel-Saving Technologies
Electric Power Steering uses an electric motor instead of an engine-driven belt, resulting in a lighter overall workload and better fuel economy.
An electronically controlled six-speed transmission allows the engine to operate at a lower rate of speed as compared to transmissions with fewer gears, which results in better fuel economy.
Low-mass materials, such as an aluminum hood and decklid, aluminum knuckles and control arms, and low-mass high-strength steel in the body, reduce engine workload and contribute to better fuel economy.
Responsible Manufacturing
The Silao, Mexico, engine facility is landfill-free. This facility uses a process to reuse, recycle or convert to energy all waste created in its daily operations, which conserves resources.
End-of-Life Recyclability
After the vehicle’s useful life, 85% of it is recyclable. The majority of its components can be broken down and recycled, which conserves resources and reduces landfill deposits.
