Greenhouse effect, good teachers and bad examples Dear Bloggers,
last week, the European Commission has established new limits on the emission of carbon dioxide by 2012, the European cars will have to produce an average of 130 grams of CO2 per Km
Currently the average is 162 g / km, and then to achieve the radical changes are needed: some are still very far apart in time, such as hydrogen engines, others on hand, such as methane, biofuels and hybrid.
The political debate in Europe is very bright, especially in Germany, home to high-end car.
The German ruling class made a speech quite sensible: if we pollute less, we have to be politicians to lead by example and use environmentally friendly cars with lower emissions than required by EU Directives. The target set is
80 g / km 2020, a date that seems far away but in reality is only 2 cycles of a normal pattern of success.
Our leadership strives daily to provide the "good example
" but we Italians is a record of which we can be proud: you know what the car manufacturer has the world record for the lowest CO2 emissions ?
Toyota, a pioneer of the hybrid?
Wrong: 163 gr / km. Too much!
Volkswagen TDI's mother, injector pump and the Lupo 3L?
Nor, we are up to 159 g / km.
Stay strong: our Fiat ahead of the competition with as many as 139 g / km! A
when a ministerial fleet with Multiple Bipower?
