Why buy a greener car?
A more fuel-efficient vehicle and
smarter driving can save
you money and save the environment.
Many drivers feel that if they opt for a greener vehicle, they may have to
choose a smaller car or lose out on acquiring the aspirational vehicle they have
been working towards.
Smaller cars and cars with smaller engines typically are greener, but vehicle
manufacturers are adapting their designs accordingly and are starting to produce
models with lower emissions without sacrificing appeal or performance. See
Vesource's recommended green cars
A greener vehicle will enable you to:
1) Save money on fuel
The price of petrol and diesel is rising all of the time, and the forecasts
predict that it will continue to do so. Greener cars use up considerably less
fuel allowing you to take advantage of cost savings.
2) Save money on taxes
Road tax
The amount of vehicle tax you pay is based on your vehicle's carbon dioxide
emissions, the type of fuel used and the age of the vehicle. The lower the
emission, the less tax you pay.

vehicle tax payable for any new car that you’re considering buying at

Company car tax
Many employees / businesses believe that the tax on a company vehicle has gone
up. This is often only the case for high-emission vehicles - The higher the
emissions, the higher the tax.
3) Save the environment
Cars are getting cleaner, however due the increase in car usage they are still
seen as a key contributor to climate change due to their carbon dioxide
emissions. By choosing a car with lower emissions you can help to play your part
in the fight against climate change.
