Over its lifetime, a Prius emits 37 per cent less CO2 than a similarly sized, UK-built petrol vehicle (with a conventional 2-litre engine) and 47 per cent less NOx than a diesel vehicle. Diesel engines are more energy-efficient than petrol engines, have therefore lower fuel consumption and hence emit less CO2 per km.
