BMW tops in carbon-cutting car marque report
According to a new report, unlike any car company, BMW Group has done a lot to cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from its vehicles in the past one year. Out of the five improved models, four have come only from the BMW group. BMW-owned Mini is the manufacturer with the lowest CO2 emissions
Clean Green Cars is the pioneer in charting the progress of individual manufacturers on CO2 emissions. It is possibly the biggest challenge faced by the car manufacturing industry today.
The report also states that Mini has cut emissions by more than 10% in the last year. BMW has reduced emissions by a decent 10.96% in the last year. The BMW 6 Series is the only most improved model with CO2 emissions down by a whopping19.42%.
Chevrolet was the worst performer. It showed an average emission rise of more than 7%. Even the other leading marques such as Vauxhall, Kia and Saab failed to improve over their last year’s performance.
Jay Nagley, publisher of Clean Green Cars said that these results showed the difference between the manufacturers who just talk about going green and those who act.
Nagley, a prominent industry analyst had started the concept of Clean Green Cars.
