Clean Cars
Clean vehicles not only consume less fuel but also pollute less.
Nowadays, it is possible to make a choice of a vehicle that not only suites our
needs but also represents and quantum leap in environmental responsibility.
Hybrid Electric Vehicles
At the forefront of automotive cleanliness we have Hybrid Electric
Vehicles which due to their excellent engineering and systems, manage to be
the cleanest and most efficient available to today's consumers.
Clean Diesel
This is an exciting new development that foretells of a great future for
Diesel powered vehicles in North America. Unfortunately, current and
past Diesels had only two major benefits (excellent fuel economy and a long
engine life cycle. Sadly, their emissions are generally very poor, so
much so that they cannot be sold in many US states.
However, many manufacturers have committed to a lot of research and
development aim at developing cleaner running diesel engines that will meet
the emissions ratings of today's gasoline power vehicles.
At the moment we cannot endorse any clean diesels because many are not
yet available for sale and those that are (i.e: Mercedes) rate very poorly
in quality and reliability.
Nevertheless, we're very excited that Honda is committed to clean Diesel
technology and their push for this technology will only accelerate the rate
of progress and acceptance of Diesel powered vehicles in North America.
Natural Gas Vehicles
At the moment, only Honda provides a mass produced vehicle that runs on
Compressed Natural Gas. This vehicle is often rated as the cleanest
internal combustion vehicle on the market today.
Cleaner PZEV Gasoline vehicles
Several manufacturers produce vehicles with PZEV rating. Please
note however, that the PZEV (Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle) operation
also depends on the cleanliness of the fuel used. A dirtier fuel may
help defeat the effectiveness of the complex emission control systems in
these vehicles in addition to shortening its life.
