Easier to choose fuel efficient,CO2 emissions cars fr July 1

[Darthrevan]

From July 1, car buyers who want to buy a car model with better fuel efficiency and lower carbon emissions will find it easier to do so with help from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) which is going to launch three new initiatives.

 

In preparation for the Carbon Emissions-based Vehicle (CEV) scheme, the LTA will take over the administration of the Fuel Economy Labelling Scheme (FELS) from the National Environment Agency, a LTA spokesman said on Wednesday.

 

The new initiatives include a fuel economy label which will highlight the model's carbon emissions per km, fuel consumption and relative carbon emission performance. The label will also show the car banding under the upcoming scheme and corresponding rebate or surcharge to encourage consumers to shift to more fuel efficient and lower carbon emission models.

 

A new brochure on the labelling scheme, aimed at buyers on the advantages of choosing fuel efficient cars, how to read the new fuel economy label, and the CEV scheme will be available at all car showrooms.

The super high Coe prices negate any reason to buy fuel efficient cars.

Save on fuel, but waste it all on expensive COE....just don't seems right.
