Leading Green Cars in Australia
Green Vehicle Rating
The Australian government has created the Green Vehicle Guidewhich combines the air pollution rating and Greenhouse rating to give an overall star rating out of 5, called the Green Vehicle Rating.
Before buying a new vehicle, refer to the Green Vehicle Guide ratings. Detailed information helps identify individual vehicle models, including the make, model and variant name, engine and transmission, body style, seating and fuel type. Further information to help you compare each vehicle's impact on the environment includes the - Greenhouse Rating (based on CO2 emissions); Air Pollution Rating (based primarily on emission standards); an overall 'Star' Rating (a combination of the Greenhouse Rating and Air Pollution Rating); and Fuel Consumption (in L/100km).
It is important for both your backpocket as well as the environment to compare the Fuel Consumption Label on cars to choose the most fuel-efficient vehicle.
