Carbon emissions - superiority of German technology
Caravan posted a topic in General Car Discussion
While browsing sgcarmart and checking out vehicles specifications, something caught my eye - carbon emissions. With the new CEVS kicking in from July, cars with 'high' emissions can be taxed additional $30k! But what is interesting is how the German vehicles have much lesser emissions than comparative Japanese cars. Examples below. Specifications from sgcarmart. Toyota corolla 1.6(A) - CO2 emission 151 g/km (As tested by LTA) / Kerb weight 1,265 kg Mercedes Benz E200 - CO2 emission 146 g/km (As tested by LTA) / Kerb weight 1,655 kg Numbers speak for themselves. Further e.g. Subaru WRX STi 2.5(M) - CO2 emission 242 g/km (As tested by LTA) / Kerb weight 1,516 kg (additional $30k CEVS tax from July) Mercedes Benz A45 AMG - CO2 emission 165 g/km (As tested by LTA) / Kerb weight 1,555 kg Seems like the German technology is far ahead of the Japanese.
