Manufacturers cleaning up their act
Vehicle manufacturers are claiming to have halved the amount of energy use, waste and CO2 emissions they produced in the last four years.
According to the SMMT’s latest sustainability report, average energy use per vehicle has been cut from 6.2 to 3.2 MWh per vehicle, while corresponding CO2 figures per vehicle are down to 0.6 tonnes, from 1.3 tonnes.
“We have embraced our responsibility and delivered a clear, clean message; the motor industry is willing, capable and open about being part of the solution to the issue of sustainable motoring”, said Christopher Macgowan, SMMT chief executive.
