Car emissions | Off track


If you take a look at the list, is it not interesting that those that are at the bottom of the list are more or less the same as those that most have been growing their revenues, profits and market share and those at the top of this list of shame, are companies that are losing market share, generating losses and losing value on the stock market over the last few years.

Will the losers, who are also getting dirtier, learn this lesson soon or will they fail before they have worked it out?

The European Union wants to impose mandatory limits on greenhouse-gas emissions from cars. To much opposition from carmakers the European Commission has even proposed that average emissions across each company's range of vehicles is no more than 130g of carbon dioxide per km by 2012. A study by the European Federation of Transport and Environment, a campaign group, shows just how far short many carmakers are of this contentious target. In 2006 average emissions by all makers selling over 200,000 cars in the EU exceeded the target. Some are even pumping out more carbon dioxide than they did in 2005.
