Department for Transport - Act on CO2 |
 Act on CO2 is the Department for Transport's campaign to promote greener driving. Its site includes a league table of the top 10 lowest CO2 emmiting cars in each class and tips on how to drive to reduce your carbon emissions.
ACT ON CO2. You can help All cars on the road today contribute to climate change because their engines burn fuel and therefore produce carbon dioxide (CO2) every time we drive. Yet you can easily reduce these emissions and save money too. By following a few simple tips and suggestions you can reduce your engine's workload, which means it will burn less fuel and produce less CO2.
You could choose a new car with a more fuel efficient engine. Or make sure your tyres are pumped up correctly to reduce resistance. Even travelling a bit lighter when you're out and about can help.
In fact, by following the campaign's Smarter Driving tips and suggestions, CO2 emissions from cars could be reduced by 8%, and if everyone buying a brand new car this year opted for the most fuel efficient model in its class, CO2 emissions from new cars could be reduced by 24%.
Remember. You can help. Join the drive to reduce CO2. For further information, please visit www.dft.gov.uk/ActOnCO2/ |
