Greener cars demand up

 

 

The number of people choosing their car on environmental grounds has risen from 6% to 20% in the last year according to recent research by AA personal loans. Each of the last five years has seen the proportion of motorist buying for green reasons increasing. Motorists who have so many other financial commitments also choose 'greener' car because of the financial benefits of a car that has a lower insurance group and a higher fuel economy. The London congestion charge where motorists benefit from driving environmentally friendly cars may also be a reason for the move.

With 25% of Britons changing their car this year, the type of cars we see on our roads in a few years time may be very different from those we see at present. It looks like sports cars are no longer cool.
