Low emission vehicles

Hi and welcome to the "Low emission vehicles" page.

Here we give you a selection of small cars with low emission levels. (and not the Hybrid models).

If you're thinking about lowering your carbon footprint, then a LEV is probably a good solution. An exellent way to lower the co2 emissions and a good start in our fight against climate change and global warming.

Especially the Europe and Japan are have working on this subject. They have introduced all kind of rules to get the co2 emissions down. Although the US is doing their utmost to make up for the lost time.

Smaller cars have the advantage that they consume less fuel. Less fuel means, lower co2... Also,the price of a small car is less and you pay less tax and insurance fee. Is there a better way to safe money? Enough advantages to consider to purchase an LEV (low emission vehicle).

Of course, we are aware of the fact that not everybody can acquire a small car, for different reasons.

as there are: You have A large family, You are a tall person....

In that case, perhaps a Hybrid car would be a better solution..

Fighting climate change means also that we have to change our thinking into an established pattern, because cars are still having a status symbol..

So, we have specific tracked for the information concerning co2 emissions, what is our main objective to fight climate change.

For some brands it's not that easy to find the that info, or sometimes simply not available. But fact is that there's a change happening. As for the most car brands in the past accelerating performances and top-speed was the priority NR one, it's now changed in low fuel consumption and co2 emissions.

Before we give you a list with the best known brands with co2 levels to 120g/ km, and lower.
