The FIA’s Make Cars Green campaign aims to help reduce the impact of cars on the environment. The campaign’s 10 points for greener motoring encourage motorists to think green before they drive:
Buy Green
Plan your journey
Check tyre pressures frequently
Reduce loads and avoid the need for roof racks
Don’t warm up your engine before starting off
Use air conditioning only when necessary
Accelerate gently and keep your speed constant
Use engine braking
Don’t idle your engine
Offset your CO 2 emissions
When Purchasing a Car you should always take into consideration environmental performance.
A well-planned journey will allow you to get to your destination
in the quickest and easiest way, saving on unnecessary fuel emissions.
A well-inflated tyre decreases the rolling resistance and thereby increases efficiency.
Extra weight increases the consumption of fuel as does
increased air resistance.
Modern cars no longer need to be warmed up before starting
off, only in extremely cold conditions.
Avoid setting AC to low, as AC uses a lot of power from the car.
Gentle driving uses less fuel, is safer and will allow you and
your passengers to reach your destination in more comfort.
Using the natural braking power of engines saves on fuel economy.
When you are not using the engine of the car it is still using fuel.
CO2 production as a result of transport is often unavoidable, if you do drive you can still contribute to CO2 reduction by
offsetting emissions.
With your help we can begin to Make Cars Green.
