The start point for the best source of fleet information |
A reasonable result from the VW-owned brand, with the high points being its average fleet CO2 figure, healthy margin below its EU target and good result for local air pollution. The flip side is a current range that lacks class-best emissions and little sign of progress upcoming.
Lowerst average fleet CO2
The Italian brand returns to our survey as a result of replacing Mazda in the top 20 fleet registrations table for 2012, and its small car-orientated range helps the number of models under 95g/km and fleet emissions last year. Horsepower against CO2 is more of a struggle.
The biggest climber, thanks in part to our new focus on CO2 versus power that gives help to carmakers selling larger cars. The 7.7% reduction in emissions last year had a huge impact. The new A-class should also help bring emissions down further.
Skoda's results didn't show any major high points, but were generally consistent around the middle of the top 20. Getting the large Superb model down to 109g/km later this year is an achievement, but more choice below 95g/km would be useful.
The new 94g/km Civic is a sign that Honda is making inroads after previously struggling to make emissions a priority. Its hybrid models are less sophisticated and not as clean as Toyota's, and apart from the Civic, the diesel engines are off the pace for efficiency.
