Conventional petrol and diesel cars are beginning to outpace Toyota's Prius on environmental friendliness, according to a new report. The hybrid remains the cleanest for its size, but is outranked by 11 smaller Peugeot, Citroen, Ford, Smart and other cars in a new environmental ratings system, which has been devised by researchers at Cardiff University and Clifford Thames, an automotive consultancy. They claim that petrol and diesel cars with new emissions-cutting technology will outpace the Prius on a size-for-size basis over the next 12-18 months.
