Save the planet - put your clothes back on
Speaking yesterday at the Living in a Low Carbon World 2008
conference, SMMT chief executive Paul Everitt highlighted the steady progress
made by industry to reduce carbon emissions. Latest figures show that the
average UK new car CO2 in the first quarter of 2008 was 161.4g/km, which is a
3.5g/km or 2.1% improvement on the 2007 full year average.
He said:"Data for the first quarter of this year shows that motorists are benefiting
from the lower carbon cars made available by vehicle manufacturers,
"As well as being safer and more secure than ever
before, new cars are becoming ever more fuel-efficient."
