Top green car manufacturer status


Toyota has retained its position as greenest vehicle manufacturer according to a study conducted by Business Car magazine.

A recent Auto Trader survey also put Toyota top of the environmental table in a survey of almost 2,000 UK motorists.

The car maker says it is on target to achieve its goal of whole-fleet CO2 emissions of 140g/km this year. The introduction of Toyota Optimal Drive, a range of powertrain design and engineering features that increase output, while significantly improving emissions performance and fuel efficiency, gives almost every Toyota model a green edge over its rivals.

Toyota has achieved its leading green status thanks to industry leading hybrid applications – most famously the Prius – and also environmentally considerate manufacturing and recycling.
