Research

More than half of all motorists would rather take the chance of being stuck in a traffic jam than use public transport.

A report concludes that oil production could peak by 2013, causing rising fuel prices and damaging the UK economy. At the same time another report concludes that electric vehicles could cut emissions by 40% per vehicle even with the current grid mix.

A new report from BMW identifies that buyers want to reduce emissions and improve consumption, but not at the expense of driving enjoyment.

A billion pounds of public transport fare cuts would reduce car travel by less than half a percent, according to the Royal Automobile Club Foundation's latest research paper, 'Public Transport Effects on Road Traffic: Potential and Limitations'.

New research published by the Royal Automobile Club Foundation shows that emissions in the UK could be reduced by scrapping 17-18 year old cars. Such a scheme would remove most of the last non-catalytic cars.

New figures reveal that almost three quarters (71 per cent) of British motorists would consider driving an electric car to help combat ‘green’ issues, according to research by esure car insurance.

The UK could save almost £3 billion a year if businesses took advantage of new tax breaks and switched to greener company cars.

Research has found that green credentials are now a major selling point for car buyers.
