France has the cleanest fleet in Europe
France, not only gives lessons in terms of CO2 emissions from electricity generation, with its huge nuclear power stations. Now is also the European country with the rates of C02 from the lower road. He has proudly announced the French Environment Minister Jean-Louis Borloo, and confirmed the CCFA (French Committee of Automobile Manufacturers).
The average level of new car emissions of 130 grams of CO2 per kilometer, 14 grams less than the European average. This average increased of 148 g / km in 2007 to 139 g / km in 2008 and 132.8 g / km in 2009, as confirmed by the Ministry of Environment.
The reason for this change has been the success of the combination of a system of bonuses and penalties depending on the purchase of vehicles that are more or less green, with an aid plan to get rid of highly polluting old vehicles.
