Carbon dioxide emissions from Toyota’s UK car range have reached a record low in 2017. Official figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders show Toyota passenger cars falling to an average figure of 100g/km for the past year from more than 102,000 sales.
The result demonstrates the impact of Toyota’s petrol-electric hybrid range. It is the lowest level yet achieved by Toyota and well below the industry average of 121.04g/km – a figure that marks a slight increase on 2016’s performance.
Over the last 10 years, Toyota have introduced a wide range of hybrid models and with this; carbon emissions have plummeted by almost 31% - it’s hybrid technology has helped cut emissions and improve real-world fuel economy.
Mark Roden, Toyota GB Director of Operations, said “Not so long ago 100g/km was the benchmark manufacturers strived to achieve with their ‘cleanest’ model. Now Toyota has reached that level as an average for its entire model range, including its conventional petrol and diesel engine models.
“This achievement shows how customers concerned about air quality and the environment are turning to our petrol-electric hybrids as a solution that’s practical, reliable and desirable. With hybrids accounting for almost 45% of our UK new car sales, we’re confident that we can reduce our CO2 figures even further.”
The figure for all Toyota GB vehicles is at a new low of 107.4g/km, a reduction of 30% since 2008.
We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed.
