4 people in a VW Polo Bluemotion? But they’re still thin on the ground, and unless you have £100,000 for a Tesla Roadster (.So where does that leave us? And lets say that 30g/km is actually saved by getting a newer, smaller, more efficient car through the scrappage scheme. ).So there you go.

What’s even better is that if you continue this trend past 2012, then by 2030 we’re going to be driving cars which actually burn petrol / diesel and remove CO2 from the atmosphere as if by magic. To put that in context, a Bentley Continental GT with 1 person is 410 g/km.And that cab you took home last night after too many beers?

Simple, take the estimated £1bn earmarked for the scheme and invest in research and development in the UK. Today though, the SUV / 4×4 has become ostracised from society and sales have fallen off a cliff. The.But it's not just the manufacturers that are having to pull their green socks up, us drivers are also being coaxed towards a more environmentally friendly future.New road tax rules impose an initial charge on cars registered since April 2017 relative to the amount of emissions they produce. You'll find it here.Want to know more about the Belgian fleet?

Chapman believed that to make a car faster you make it lighter.

All it will do is create a “Christmas / January Sales” effect pushing the problem down the line where everyone shops now, then the market dries up requiring huge discounting just to get any sales at all. (They cost about 7p to completely recharge every day that’s £15 a year in “fuel” costs.

H-gas, however, contains more energy, so you will need less kg of gas per 100 km, which ensures that, at least in theory, the average CO2 emissions from CNG vehicles is independent of the gas type used.1 kg of L-gas consists for 61,4% of carbon, or 614 grammes of carbon per kg of L-gas.
Averaging a 596 g/km, at top speed this behemoth will gobble almost 2 gallons of fuel a minute. No doubt there will be a strong take-up initially (who doesn’t want £2,000 free from the government coffers? You'll find it here.Links to websites about sustainability and mobility.This page is also available in following languages:1 liter of diesel weighs 835 grammes. Reducing carbon emissions has become one of the prime focuses for virtually every car manufacturer still intending to make a profit.We are seeing ever tightening restrictions on the use of traditional combustion engines - those that require fuel such as petrol and diesel to work - intended to hugely reduce their environmental impact. UK Speed bumps or Fiji?How much CO2 does the Toyota Prius really produce?Whats the difference between CO2 and MPG?What is the least efficient car on sale in the UK today?30mpg is equivalent to 218g/km (Petrol) & 252 g/km (Diesel),40mpg is equivalent to 163g/km (Petrol) & 189 g/km (Diesel),50mpg is equivalent to 130g/km (Petrol) & 151 g/km (Diesel).

Heavier maybe, but more efficient. A Lotus Elise in 1996 weighed just 720kg. Now DEFRA in their guidelines to the carbon offsetting quality standard (which is soon to be released) says that reported g/km “factors must be uplifted by 15% to take into account ‘real-world’ driving conditions”. If you really don’t believe in or care about global warming (and have a bottomless wallet), a Bugatti is the car for you!http://www.bugatti-configurator.com/content/pdf/Veyron_en.pdf.So you want to reduce your carbon footprint right? So to get 100mph requires 4 times the energy to get to 50mph. Petrol consists for 87% of carbon, or 652 grammes of carbon per liter of petrol. Admittedly once you’re at speed, then the aerodynamics play more of a part in how much fuel is burnt (and CO2 that is produced), but lets concentrate on the weight for now.The trouble with this kinetic energy is that when you slow down it’s changed into heat in the brakes, and it’s gone. Well in London the average bus makes headway at just 8mph, the average tram 16 mph and tube 18 mph.

Even now with airbags, safety equipment and crumple zones it weighs about 900kg. Some cars can loose 50% of their value in the first year of registration. So what’s the cleanest way to go in terms of CO2?The obvious one is to walk or cycle. And cars on average are getting heavier by 16kg every year***.Very interesting, but what relevance does this have to CO2 or that lovely sports car you want? of copyright.Dennis Buyacar Ltd, 31-32 Alfred Place, London, WC1E 7DP (GB09151058) (FRN:667368) is authorised and

Climate change has been abated by car manufacturers.What produces more CO2?
So let me tell you how….The AA (Automobile Association) did a bit of research on fuel consumption for cars at the Millbrook Proving Ground and found that a typical mid-size car running at a constant 30 mph did 58 mpg. This is not a scheme that can last forever, as there is no reason why the government should subsidise one industry (making up a relatively small part of our economy nowadays) while others feel the pain of a recession. All the grants are given out, then what?
