Transport contributes to climate change because engines burn fuel and therefore produce carbon dioxide (CO2) every time you travel. You can easily reduce these emissions and save money by following the simple tips you’ll find in the ‘On the move’ section.
Find the most fuel efficient, and so lowest CO2-emitting new car, with the help of this ACT ON CO2 search tool, created in association with What Car?.
Simply select the category (supermini, small family, executive and so on), fuel type and gearbox that meet your needs, hit submit, and you’ll be returned the 10 most fuel efficient cars in the category. Each entry on the top 10 list is colour-coded to reflect the Fuel Economy Label (a label much like the one seen on fridges and washing machines).
Good luck with your search!
CO2 emissions information for all new cars is available on the Vehicle Certification Agency website.
The data in these tables was compiled by the Vehicle Certification Agency, an Executive Agency of the Department for Transport. Whilst every effort is made to ensure that the information contained in the tables is accurate, neither the Vehicle Certification Agency nor the Department for Transport can accept liability for its accuracy. Users who rely on the information do so entirely at their own risk.
