Choose your next car or van by CO2
Car and Van Carbon Dioxide emissions (CO2) are important when choosing a vehicle.
· Cars and vans contribute to climate change because their engines burn fuel producing carbon dioxide (CO2) every time you drive.
· Smaller cars and vans also tend to be more fuel efficient and emit less CO2 however it is not quite as easy as that.
· Most car and van models offer a range of engines that vary in fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions.
· From April 2009 the new Vehicle Excise Duty rates will be expanded to 13 different bands.
· This will further affect what road tax you pay for your car or van.
· For a Company entity or a Company car driver it will also affect your tax liability.
· The Car and Van CO2 shopper from Compare Contract Hire allows you to choose a car or van based on the CO2 g/km output of a vehicle.
· The new Car or Van CO2 shopper facility can be used to find to the lowest polluting cars available, by all manufacturer makes, or be reduced to groups of manufacturer makes, by specific VED bands.
· This can cut down the time required to produce a shortlist of vehicles for your consideration.
· The Vehicle Excise Duty bands from 2009 are also explained, so users can see and factor in longer term cost implications.
