Automotive intelligence services provider HPI is updating its CO2 Certificate in line with the revised car fuel economy label recommended by the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership, it has been revealed.

According to the group, the move will enable dealers to make the greenest and most cost-effective choices available to them.

Daniel Burgess, automotive director at HPI, commented: "As consumer choice is vital to the reduction of road transport emissions, the updated Certificate will enable used car buyers to accurately compare vehicles and make an informed decision at the point of sale."

The updated certificate will encompass a vehicle’s estimated fuel cost over 12,000 miles, vehicle excise duty banding relating to CO2 emissions and miles-per-gallon figures.

In other environmental automotive news, magazine Road and Track defined five different types of car buyers likely to be interested in purchasing green vehicles – those looking to make a statement, pioneers, eco-warriors, those who are technologically savvy and people who are money-conscious.
