Hybrid models can help reach German air quality goals
Aug 22 2011
According to the 2011/2012 edition of the Environmental Car List compiled by the Traffic Club of Germany, Verkehrsclub Deutschland (VCD), the firms were behind the top four environmentally-friendly cars on the market.
The Lexus CT 200h was the greenest vehicle, while three Toyota cars including the Prius were also highly rated.
Spokesman for the environmental NGO Transport & Environment - which is a VCD-partner organisation - Dudley Curtis, told EurActiv that Toyota has made "significant progress" in curbing pollutants across its fleet.
The Lexus model's emissions were calculated at just 87 g/km, which is already far superior to the EU's aim of having all new cars limited to 130 g/km by 2015.
EU chiefs have also targeted the shipping industry in its attempts to seriously clamp down on carbon emissions.
