Air pollution because of the cars?

The question obout the climate is very important in the motor vehicle industry. The major complaints are usually based on old information.When it comes to relatively new cars the discharge is much better. For example 100 modern cars together discharge the same as one old care did during the 70's. A car without a catalyst ofcourse spit out more than a car with a catalyst. Dieselcars also have particle discharge which has been a problem. But with the tecknique of today particle filters that clean the exhausts have been developed. This means that dieselscars with particle filters are classified as environment cars if thay are really fuel-efficient.

Eu's goal with the car industry is to reduce all discharges. No car after 2012 will be allowed to let out more than 130 grammes of carbon dioxide per kilometre. That corresponds to 0,56 litre per kilometres and 0,51 litre diesel per kilimetres.

Sweden has difinitely deaded that we will reduce the discharge with 4% by 2010

There are different measures to do that. Some of them are technicalprogress, biomass based fuel, syntheticdiesel and hydrogen gas.

Ask yourselves the question: Can I do someting for a better sustainable development? And then act according to your answer!
