The reduction of CO2 emissions by 10% by the year 2010 was an ambitious target for the British government, but for one that wants to be the greenest government ever was, if a necessary one. European carmakers have been put under pressure to meet strict environmental standards, from January 2011 to meet all new cars Euro 5 standard, to limit the harmful emissions from diesel and petrol cars have.
This year is also expected to be the year of emission-free electric car to be, with the government to encourage the introduction of a £ 5,000 electric car subsidy program in January for people to swap their gas-guzzling car for a more environmentally friendly alternative. The government "Plugged in Places" initiative is the provision of funds to early adopters of electric car charging stations in the hope of eventually creating a national electricity network.
But it is not only the government and the automakers that will increase their eco-friendly efforts, it looks like motorists are always concerned about their carbon footprint.
Forty percent of the people would use their cars less to CO2 emissions, according to a study by the Department of Transport. Of those who are very over environmental damage, 64% were concerned that the number of car trips would be made.
Almost half of the people in the study said that they would be a better use of public transport while 58% ready, often on foot. Of course we could all cut down, we all rely on our car use, walking to the local shop instead of driving, take the bus to the city or the use of the work car equity, but for the convenience that our cars. You need only to those who can not tell a license, they wish they could take in order to understand how much easier life with a car is heard.
The number of cars on the road that has less than 120kg/km emit CO2 rose by over 90% over a period of three years, it seems, those of us who can not live without our engines make a conscious effort to be children for the environment. Driving a low-emission car also has financial advantages, a new Nissan Micra in Bristol to tax costs from just £ 30 per year compared to a Volkswagen Passat 2.0, £ 125 costs.
