Ford’s ‘biggest fall’ in CO2

Ford cars sold so far in 2009 have recorded the biggest fall in CO2 emissions, report latest statistics.

Eco website Clean Green Cars has looked at sales of all makes up to April 2009, and discovered that Ford car sales show the biggest drop in CO2 output.

That’s 10,000 fewer tonnes of CO2 a year. And all thanks to an overall CO2 improvement of nearly 10g/km.

For fleet-savvy car dealers, that’s a cut of two BIK tax bands.

Yet more good news for Ford car dealers – who, last week, discovered their share of the new car market had also rocketed 4 percent over 2008.

It’s thanks to increasing popularity for Ford’s hit new small cars, the Fiesta and Ka, say the analysts. They alone have increased their market share by 2 percent.

Indeed, until the SEAT Ibiza Ecomotive arrived, the Fiesta Econetic was actually the UK’s greenest, lowest-emission five-seat hatch.

Nigel Sharp, Ford Britain MD, said: ‘Clean Green Cars’ analysis, based on the actual cars being bought, shows what is being achieved rather than what could be done by cars which may not be available, desirable or affordable.’

We can’t imagine which rivals he could be referring to…. still, more evidence that Ford really is a car maker on the march.
