www.cleangreencars.co.uk publishes CO2 performance figures for Jan-September
1st November 2007
www.cleangreencars.co.uk has published tables of sales-weighted CO2 performance for all manufacturers, models and segments in the UK up to the end of September 2007 at http://www.cleangreencars.co.uk/jsp/cgcmain.jsp?lnk=370.
Average CO2 output fell just 0.8% from 166.1g/km to 164.8 g/km in the first nine months of 2007 compared to the first nine months of 2006. The only segments to fall noticeably were executive saloons (down 4.2%) and MPVs (down 3.3%), thanks to the increasing use of diesel engines.
The only manufacturer to significantly improve its performance was MINI, which cut its average CO2 by 17.1% to 150.8 g/km, due to BMW replacing some of the least efficient engines in the MINI’s class with some of the best (and in the case of the diesel, absolutely the best). By 2008, says the site, MINI may have the lowest average CO2 output of any mainstream manufacturer brand.
