There are 200 million cars in the Euro car parc alone. Throughout the 20th century man has built his world around the mobility that vehicle transportation allows.

In the UK we have delighted in the pleasures and freedoms afforded us as a result of the internal combustion engine. For most of us our first car journey was from the maternity department, and our last will be a dignified crawl to the cemetery. The emergency services depend on vehicles and passing our driving test is a significant milestone in our lives signalling greater independence these days than turning twenty one. And yet our personal relationship with the car is costly.

In reality climate warming is not all the fault of transportation, even when you add in refining and vehicle production. However there is no doubting the fact that from vehicle manufacturer to vehicle user we all must take action to reduce our Co2 emissions. We recognise that as suppliers of many thousands of vehicles we have an important role to play in helping you reduce your emission legacy.
