And assumming a new car typically costs about £16,000 so the government won’t even be out of pocket (VAT alone is £2,400 before road tax etc), so why is this idea straight from the “MG Rover” department of naivity and idiocy?New cars are more efficient than older cars. In a year, that means a single stretch of road creates an extra 103 tonnes of unnecessary CO2 per year. So the UK speed hump population cost us £300 million pounds. In October 2005 Bugatti released the 250mph Veyron and all was right with the world again. Middle England loves the Toyota Prius because over a dinner party they can tell their neighbours they drive a hybrid car. Ouch.You can console yourself that as a UK taxpayer, based on the estimate that 50 standard humps on three or four connecting residential streets costs about £150,000. In the simplest terms that means owning one car is 8% more CO2 efficient than owning 2 cars over the same period.There is no doubt that the economy is the primary focus here, and the government are desperately trying to shore up what remains of the British motor industry. regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. To put that in context it is the same as driving 9 and a half VW Polo Bluemotions at the same time. And if you were thinking about buying one to replace your old car, remember that means that somewhere another vehicle needs to be manufactured with all the raw materials that entails.So, if you want to show people you care about the environment, enjoy looking smug at dinner parties or star in Hollywood blockbusters, then the Prius is the car for you. And forecasting 4 years into the future, based on 2 data-points is a dangerous game.Speed-bump, road hump, speed ramp or sleeping policemen. Averaging a 596 g/km, at top speed this behemoth will gobble almost 2 gallons of fuel a minute. All it will do is create a “Christmas / January Sales” effect pushing the problem down the line where everyone shops now, then the market dries up requiring huge discounting just to get any sales at all. To offset the impact of manufacturing would take a minimum of 20,000 miles of driving, or almost one complete lap of the earth.Another source is Professor Julia King, vice-chancellor of Aston University who for the Governmenet calculated that 85% of a car’s CO2 is from fuel , 10% production and 5% destruction. There are a variety of sources for this, from the energy required to build the car (welding / pressing etc), the energy required for production of parts from raw materials and even the footprint required to scrap and recycle a vehicle. Well, that would buy you almost 30 Segways. Diesel consist for 86,2% of carbon, or 720 grammes of carbon per liter diesel. Cars with low g/km CO2 ratings are placed in lower company car tax bands, reducing the level of tax that drivers pay.Cars emitting less than 75g/km CO2, which were first registered after January 1, 2011, are curently exempt from the London congestion charge. Search and compare the Ecoscore of your vehicles.Want to know more about Ecoscore? But is it as green as Toyota claim?Well, the official CO2 figure for the Prius is 104 g/km, which is equivalent to 62.8 mpg (although Toyota actually claim 65.7 – someone in Japan has their maths wrong there). That means it needs a smaller engine, brakes and so on to give the same performance. What’s even better is that if you continue this trend past 2012, then by 2030 we’re going to be driving cars which actually burn petrol / diesel and remove CO2 from the atmosphere as if by magic. All electric cars are able to avoid the charge too, as long as the fuel type, listed on their V5C registration document is 'electric'.Electric vehicle owners are still not able to simply drive into the capital and avoid payment: first you'll need to register your vehicle with Transport for London (TfL), the body that manages the charge. Save the Earth with the help of the Cheeky Girls.Fantastic news! An average consumption of 4,2 kg / 100 km then corresponds to 4,2 kg x 2666 g/kg = 112 g of CO2/km. Generally 2 seater sports cars tend to weigh in between 1,200 and 1,500kg*****. That’s about the same as the total carbon footprint of the 830,000 residents of Fiji, or almost twice that of Greenland. You can enter details for up to 2 motorbikes. But its not a lot.However, what if you have to go a bit further? And at that point, we’re just going to revert to a more 2.5%-3%. The amount of CO2 a car emits into the atmosphere is measured in grams per kilometre - often shortened to g/km.Every car that makes its way off of the production is required to undergo a.In general, the lower this figure, the less fuel that a vehicle uses: a car with 90g/km CO2, should have good fuel economy. Now that is a challenge!The fastest and least efficient car in the world.Well, if you’re going a long way and want to cut your footprint, don’t bother with the train. This gives us a worst of 48.1mpg and a best of 54mpg. Climate change has been abated by car manufacturers.What produces more CO2? So consumers looking to reduce their running costs ought to be looking out for cars with fewer emissions.The impact that CO2 emissions have on your car tax will depend on how old it is.Vehicles that were on the road before April 2017 have.Cars emitting more than 100g/km CO2 pay tax on a sliding scale from £20 a year to £555. ), and people are already holding off buying new cars on the expectation of the grant, further hurting the industry (why would you buy now anyway if this is coming?). In independent tests the Toyota has also failed to live up to its claimed efficiency, with What Car (1) recording 52mpg, The Sunday Times (2) recorded 48.1 mpg on a long journey and owners typically reporting between 53 & 54mpg. With the exception of the real die-hard lentil sandal wearing environ-mentalists, most people love the idea of a sports car. (However if you did have 4 people that’s only 143 g/km each which is about the same as one person in a Ford Focus! Progress indeed.However, manufacturers are also getting much better at tuning their car’s to perform well in the standard EU test cycle. What’s frightening is the statistic that although the average weight of a car in Europe is around 1,200 kg, in the US it is 2,000 kg. Car fuel and CO2 emissions data Search for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, and tax bands for new and used cars. Petrol consists for 87% of carbon, or 652 grammes of carbon per liter of petrol. 91mpg was achieved by a chap called Will from Warwick Uni (3) in a VW polo Bluemotion, in excess of the claimed 74.3mpg and that included traffic on the M25. However a car slowing down and speeding up for speed bumps only did 31 mpg. You had to be invited to buy one by Ferrari, and they were a cool $1m a pop. But it is a greenhouse gas and its contribution to global warming is the reason why governments across the world are forcing car manufacturers to lower CO2 emissions.Reducing emissions from British vehicles is a major part of the government's plan to cut greenhouse gases in an effort to ensure that global warming does not cause temperature rises of more than 2C higher than pre-industral levels.CO2 emissions are calculated in an official testing procedure that is now unified across the world, called the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP). The moment you drive off the forecourt that will be lost in depreciation anyway.And this is the big one that everyone appears to have missed. You can apply at the.Car brochures - online and paper versions - carry full details of the CO2 emissions of each car. of copyright.Dennis Buyacar Ltd, 31-32 Alfred Place, London, WC1E 7DP (GB09151058) (FRN:667368) is authorised and If you simply want to save fuel & money, lower your carbon footprint and actually do something for the environment, then improve your driving style and follow the example of Will from Warwick.www.mailonsunday.co.uk/news/article-399074/The-great-mileage-rip-off.html,http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/used_car_reviews/article3552994.ece,http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/nho/entry/911_mpg_in.Not a question most of us have asked directly, but when you hear about Toyota Prius this and Lexus hybrid that, do you ever wonder what is the highest producing car on sale in the UK today?Let me introduce you to the hall of fame, and you won’t be surprised to hear that it is exclusively populated by Italian supercars.– The most inefficient car in the UK was the one and only LAMBORGHINI Diablo, producing a colossal 590g/km of CO2. Then again you could also argue that by cutting down on the burgers and losing 10 kg, that would save you £120!Chapman sadly died in 1982, but I suspect he’s turning in his grave as he sees how bloated and overweight cars have become. The first year of tax - when a car is brand new - is based on CO2 emissions. ).So there you go. To put that in context, a Bentley Continental GT with 1 person is 410 g/km.And that cab you took home last night after too many beers? That’s enough to create jobs for 10,000 people for 3 years developing the new technologies required for the drastic advances needed in automotive technology. Its pretty obvious thatthe more fuel you burn for any given distance, the higher the CO2 and the lower the mpg. We’re making estimates here, but if that km of road has 10 of the UK’s estimated 100,000 speed humps, then speed bumps in Britain are responsible for a colossal 1.03 million tonnes of CO2 per year. Compare that with the UK where new car sales fell again in March with new registrations down 30.5 percent against March 2008. So what’s the cleanest way to go in terms of CO2?The obvious one is to walk or cycle. developed by RADsite. The sum is then 727 + 1939 = 2666 grammes of CO2/kg of H-gas. And to make it a little bit easier, below is a handy graph which allows you to translate easily between mpg and co2 for any vehicle.As a final note, I should point out that for a car to be able to compete with the train as a clean form of transport, it would have to do about 109mpg (~60g/km). Click for full details of company car tax rates. But what are tailpipe emissions? Let’s face it by any name they are the bane of urban driving (unless of course you make your living selling replacement shock absorbers). In order to combust this carbon to CO,An average consumption of 5 liters/100 km then corresponds to 5 l x 2640 g/l / 100 (per km) = 132 g CO,1 liter of petrol weighs 750 grammes. A Lotus Elise in 1996 weighed just 720kg. Which means the car is lighter still, creating a rather nice virtuous circle. For a typical London commuter doing an 8 mile commute, a Segway would save about 200kg from their carbon footprint every year.And this beautiful Utopian vision is all thanks to the Cheeky Girls.That’s great news. If you really don’t believe in or care about global warming (and have a bottomless wallet), a Bugatti is the car for you!http://www.bugatti-configurator.com/content/pdf/Veyron_en.pdf.So you want to reduce your carbon footprint right? So anyone who believed we’ve really seen a true 17% improvement in CO2 for Ford Foci in 7 years is kidding themselves.The SMMT shows that the average g/km of new cars sold in the UK between 1999 and Q2 2008 has dropped from 190 g/km to just 160 g/km today. Ouch…,Carbon footprint calculations for the unwary,http://www.engineeringtalk.com/news/jsr/jsr103.html,http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4922614.stm.loves the Toyota Prius for the green image it purveys to celebrities who have a carbon footprint several times that of the average citizen. So a kilometer of road with speed bumps creates an extra 0.1kg of CO2 for every single car that travels it.For argument’s sake, lets say this km of road has on a average a car going each way down it every minute during the day and night***. Wij stoten CO2 uit wanneer we autorijden, onze woning verwarmen, koken, werken, vieren, een vliegtuigreis maken… Deze CO2-uitstoot kan gemakkelijk berekend worden met behulp van onze CO2-calculator en dan gecompenseerd worden door te investeren in onze klimaatprojecten. That’s about £1,200 at today’s fuel prices. Sadly at some point we’re going to run out of people who are going to stop buying 4x4s as they will have already stopped. Consequently, the consumption can be expressed in Nm3/100km, but also in kg/100km. You'll find it here.Links to websites about sustainability and mobility.This page is also available in following languages:1 liter of diesel weighs 835 grammes. Only vehicles with no CO2 emissions from their exhaust - those powered by electricity or hydrogen - are exempt; if your car had a list price of £40,000 or more when new, you'll be charged an additional £310 wealth tax from the second to sixth year it is on the road.Choosing a vehicle with low CO2 emissions can save hundreds - or even thousands - of pounds in company car tax. For example a vicar who bought a car rated at 40mpg and does lots of long journeys at 50 mph is likely to get 50+ mpg, whereas a boy racer who spends most of his time with the front wheels spinning is closer to 30 mpg:But hang on – doesn’t this mean Diesel is less environmentally friendly than petrol? In the last 25 years since his death, the average weight of cars has increased by 60% in some classes**. This is where regenerative braking comes in. So not bad, but still 16-31% higher than Toyota claim (104 g/km) and very misleading.It’s also worth remembering that a hybrid engine is only beneficial for lots of stop start driving. Buy Segways. Yup, that speed bump round the corner on Mornington Close is directly responsible for the increasing popularity of bear-centric swimming lessons at the North Pole. Dennis Buyacar Ltd is a credit broker and not a lender. ).– Ferrari really show Lamborghini who’s boss with another entry, the mighty Enzo. Both are essentially carbon neutral, though if you were really being pedantic, you could say that the extra effort does make you breathe a bit harder. No doubt there will be a strong take-up initially (who doesn’t want £2,000 free from the government coffers? Short of towing a bonfire down the road behind a tractor with a hole in its fuel tank, its pretty hard to produce more CO2 / km than that.Of course there are a lot of other factors here, such as NOX levels, particulates, energy required to produce the vehicle, shipping, all the nasty chemicals produced in manufacture and so on, but that would all make this a bit dull.So the “take-away message” is simple. (They cost about 7p to completely recharge every day that’s £15 a year in “fuel” costs. Put that into carbon figures* for a petrol car** and you get 113 g/km of CO2 at a constant 30mph, or 211 g/km over speed bumps. Motorbike carbon footprint calculator. It's easy to overlook because it's normally included in a car's purchase price, but it can add substantially to your car's cost.There are 13 tax bands, based on CO2 emissions, ranging from 0 (for electric cars), where tax is free, to over 255g/km, which costs £2,070. All the grants are given out, then what? The public CNG stations in Belgium mainly offer low calorific gas. In order to combust this carbon to CO,An average consumption of 5 liters/100 km then corresponds to 5 l x 2392 g/l / 100 (per km) = 120 g CO,1 liter of LPG weighs 550 grammes. Each part contains a variety of driving phases, stops, acceleration and braking phases.The laboratory test (above) was designed decades ago for cars that didn’t have the power or equipment of modern models. This can be& anything from £10 to £2,135 - we have all the.The only way to remove the cost of road tax entirely is to drive a car that produces zero tailpipe emissions. Consumption of natural gas vehicles is, however, most often expressed in kg/100km.Different types of natural gas are available in Belgium, roughly divided into two categories: low and high calorific gas (L- and H-gas). And cars on average are getting heavier by 16kg every year***.Very interesting, but what relevance does this have to CO2 or that lovely sports car you want? But they’re still thin on the ground, and unless you have £100,000 for a Tesla Roadster (.So where does that leave us? And you also may have noticed that over the last 8 years the supercars have (dare I say it) become cleaner? TfL requires a copy of your car's registration document and charges a £10 fee for registration, which needs to be paid each year. The.But it's not just the manufacturers that are having to pull their green socks up, us drivers are also being coaxed towards a more environmentally friendly future.New road tax rules impose an initial charge on cars registered since April 2017 relative to the amount of emissions they produce. So a kilometer of road with speed bumps creates an extra 0.1kg of CO2 for every single car that travels it. UK Speed bumps or Fiji?How much CO2 does the Toyota Prius really produce?Whats the difference between CO2 and MPG?What is the least efficient car on sale in the UK today?30mpg is equivalent to 218g/km (Petrol) & 252 g/km (Diesel),40mpg is equivalent to 163g/km (Petrol) & 189 g/km (Diesel),50mpg is equivalent to 130g/km (Petrol) & 151 g/km (Diesel). Not a chance. How much CO2 in g/km is a Segway responsible for? So let me tell you how….The AA (Automobile Association) did a bit of research on fuel consumption for cars at the Millbrook Proving Ground and found that a typical mid-size car running at a constant 30 mph did 58 mpg. This is not a scheme that can last forever, as there is no reason why the government should subsidise one industry (making up a relatively small part of our economy nowadays) while others feel the pain of a recession. Well, taking a London-centric view again, the Segway would get you from Croydon to the middle of London and back on a single charge which is probably further than you’d actually want to travel.OK then, biggest issue is cost. In order to combust this carbon to CO2, 1939 grammes of oxygen is needed. Nm3 stands for a cubic meter under normal conditions (1 atm and 0 ┬░ C). We may receive a commission payment from the finance provider if you decide to enter into an agreement with them. So of those 30g/km reduction, probably half of it is as a result of cars becoming more efficient, rather than an overall shift in buying trends away from 4x4s to smaller cars.We also need to remember the CO2 required to build the car. But you still have to get from A to B and back again. In order to combust this carbon to CO2, 1638 grammes of oxygen is needed. Simple, take the estimated £1bn earmarked for the scheme and invest in research and development in the UK. And at 545g/km surprisingly less than a 456.– As the Enzo ceased production it gave Lamborghini a chance to get back in the game with the Murcielago producing a positively respectable 500g/km. It's 2020, and the largest single aspect currently affecting the motoring industry is the environment and climate change.
