Renault Group attributed this to the recent rejuvenation of its ranges, notably including five models that return less than 100g of CO 2 /km (Twingo, New Clio, Captur, Mégane and Dacia Sandero). Overall, the New Renault Clio range emits 18.5 g of CO 2 /km less than the model’s previous generation. km to 114.7g/km km (-8.6%).
Peugeot has some 36 vehicles across its 107, 207 and 308 ranges with CO 2 emissions less than 121 g/km, and 48 (within its Blue Lion standards) with CO 2 emissions less than 131 g/km. The source of the sales data is the AAA (Association Auxilaire de l’Automobile), the official supplier of automotive information to the European Commission.
A 540-litre LNG tank fitted on the left-hand side can hold at least 195 kilograms of liquid bio-LNG, enabling a range of up to 800 kilometers. The remaining 55 trucks ordered are IVECO S-Way LNG tractor units (55 AS440S46TP 1LNG).
Projects to be funded include: Ultra Lightweight Gas Turbine Range Extender for Electric Vehicles. The aim of this project is to develop an ultra-lightweight, gas turbine powered, electric vehicle range extender that will enable vehicle weight savings of 100 kg or more and a modest reduction in CO 2 emissions on the UNECE101 drive cycle.
We stick to our step-by-step plan of transitioning the fleet towards zero-emission transport and we keep investing in comfortable and quiet electric buses which, thanks to lowCO2 emission levels, are locally neutral for the environment. —Anja Wenmakers, the Managing Director of SWB Bus und Bahn.
The Focus ECOnetic also benefits a number of additional low-CO2 features which have been developed specifically for this model including a unique aerodynamic package with an Active Grille Shutter, ultra-low rolling resistance tires and a revised final drive ratio.
Hydole: Proposed by PSA, Freescale and EDF, this will work on a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle with an all electric range of 31-43miles. Vega/Thop: Led by Valeo and Renault, it aims to improve the range of electric and hybrid vehicles particularly in extreme temperatures.
Ford has dropped the ECOnetic brand from its Mondeo range. The US carmaker continues to use the lowCO2 sub brand on its greenest Fiesta and Focus models but its lowest emitting Mondeo models will not be labelled under the ECOnetic badge. Oddly, the carmaker has however introduced a new powerful and low emitting petrol [.].
Using its range of EcoBoost petrol engines, TDCi diesel engines and lowCO2 ECOnetic Technologies, Ford is to lead an assault on excessive CO2 with its new range of Focus, C-Max, Grand C-Max, B-Max and Transit [.].
The Jaguar XE will be offered with a lighter version of the ZF 8-speed automatic used in the rest of the Jaguar range. Proven over 2 million miles of real-world testing, Ingenium is the future of the low-CO2 powertrain strategy at Jaguar Land Rover and is engineered to meet the most stringent exhaust emissions legislation worldwide.
As our drivers become more energy-conscious, we want to persuade more and more of them to go with Prius, because this approach supports our own range of renewable-energy products,” says David Hemington, Hoval’s Finance Director. Now Hoval’s vehicle-leasing company, JCT 600, has been asked to supply demo versions of the latest-generation 1.8-litre
Each Mondeo will use the aforementioned engine optimised with a six-speed transmission to create combined fuel economy of 54.3mpg, which will rise to 64.2mpg on the motorway and give a potential combined driving range in excess of 800 miles. This means that Ford now has the broadest range of sub-160g/km vehicles of any manufacturer.
Thanks to its range of fuel efficient models, Ford is leading the industry in terms of reducing carbon dioxide levels according to research from an environmental website. The Ford Ka range boasts lowCO2 output from 112g/km, the equivalent of 67.3mpg.
The target for fuel economy is 39.2mpg, while the average CO2 emissions aim to be 189 g/km. Following the launch of ECOnetic models in Ford’s Fiesta, Focus and Mondeo passenger car ranges, Ford are now looking to implement their lowCO2 approach in the commercial vehicle market.
The scrappage incentive, which applies to buyers trading in a 10-year-old car for a new model, will apply to all vehicles in the Volkswagen range. The incentive will apply to vehicles such as the Peugeot 207, Europe’s best selling lowCO2 car in 2008. Volkswagen has also announced its scrappage scheme offers.
Some cities are also promoting the use of EVs for urban delivery trucks, which have shorter ranges and less noise and air pollution than diesel trucks. In recent years, vehicle emission standards have also seen significant advancements, with a marked decrease in CO2 emissions and an increase in fuel economy.
In fact, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced by up to 20 per cent compared to a conventional petrol engine. This improvement is thanks to a combination of new technologies that the carmaker has introduced into this range. greater driving enjoyment – strong low-end torque and responsive performance across the full rev range.
TDIe joins the range alongside the three existing, and continuing, 2.0-litre litre TDI variants, and employs the very latest efficiency measures to make 61.4mpg and 120g/km CO2 output a reality. With such low emissions, the A4 squeezes into tax band C at just £35 a year. TDIe and the A6 2.0
