How green?
Hopes for the sustainable future of the car are increasingly pinned on hydrogen fuel cell technology such as built into the Honda FCX Clarity. It is true that the only emission from such vehicles is water which will make a huge difference. But, as ever, it’s not as simple as that. There is the question of the damage done in the making of cars.
According to the UK Environmental Transport Association the manufacture of every new car results in around 6 tonnes of CO2 emissions. This is a pretty sizeable carbon footprint that cannot easily be ameliorated by the use of hydrogen fuel cell technology.
As an increasing number of businesses and individuals recognise the financial benefits of car leasing over outright purchase there is a similar increasing demand for greener, more environmentally friendly vehicles. If you are looking for a new car leasing deal be sure to ask about the green credentials of the cars on offer and choose carefully.
