A greener "normal" car

| | Comments (1)

Axel Friedrich, a top German environmental regulator, got tired of hearing automakers say that stricter emission standards won't be possible until future technology becomes available. So he hired a bunch of engineers to take a Volkswagen Golf and make it more environmentally friendly using existing technology, without compromising safety or horsepower. They cut emissions by 25% latimes.com

In Germany, automotive fleets are required to achieve an emissions level that's the U.S. equivalent of a 40-mpg fuel economy standard.

Current U.S. government standards require a manufacturer's fleet to attain 27.5 mpg for cars and 22.2-mpg for SUVs and small trucks.
