Toyota leads carbon emissions drive
Comments |
Toyota has been hailed as the greenest manufacturer in the car
industry’s drive to bring down average CO2 emissions.
According to research by cleangreencars.co.uk, Toyota is the
first car maker in the UK to dip below the 130g/km level for mean
carbon emissions across its model range.
Jay Nagle, of cleangreencars.co.uk, said: "It is highly
significant that a major manufacturer has met the EU target. It
means no mainstream car manufacturer has an excuse for failing to
meet the target in future."
Toyota has led the industry in bringing lower emissions
technology to the marketplace, not least in the introduction
earlier this year of its new, third generation full-hybrid
Prius.
While Prius leads the way with official CO2 emissions from
89g/km, it is joined by iQ, Aygo, Yaris, Urban Cruiser and Auris in
offering a choice of models with sub-130g/km emissions.
