Statistics have been released showing that the average CO2 emissions of vehicles has reduced by almost 5%.
Experts believe the reason behind the drop is the popularity of smaller cars that were bought during the governments scrappage scheme in mid-2009. Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), Paul Everitt said:
“Continued vehicle manufacturer efforts to improve fuel efficiency and cut emissions have further reduced average CO2 output during a better-than-anticipated first half of 2010.
‘The remainder of the year is set to be challenging, especially now the scrappage scheme has ended.”
Two of the highest selling cars during the scrappage period was the Hyundai i10 and Kia Picanto both of which offer low emissions and good fuel economy
Since the scheme ended car scrapping has experienced a huge increase with a huge number of companies popping up and offering to scrap your car for cash. A system that brings buyers and sellers together is unique as it offers both money and free vehicle collection, unlike competitors who usually only offer one. Hundreds of requests come through the system ranging from BMW to Ford and a newly implemented online auction site could mean a better deal for you when scrapping.
Scrap car has established itself in a network of online automotive companies who have over 5 years authority within the industry. Working with only licensed breakers and scrap yards also means that you can rest assured that your vehicle will be disposed of correctly in an economical and environmentally friendly way.
