Are Green Cars the Future?
When it comes to buying new cars, a lot of people fall in to one of two groups – those who don’t particularly care about the car itself, and will be looking for the cheapest option or the least likely to break down, and petrol heads who want the fastest, sleekest, coolest car they can find. ‘Green’ cars, using alternative or adapted technologies to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions, have never really fallen into either group. Sure, it’s a nice idea that you could help to save the planet by driving a different car, but let's face it these environmentally friendly cars just aren't capable of performing as well as their petrol-powered counterparts, and they're normally not cheap either.
But these ideas could change and soon. A heightened awareness of green issues and climate change combined with the effects of the global recession means demand for more fuel efficient vehicles is rising. Car buyers are starting to consider greener alternatives to petrol as a viable future for the car industry, and the technology is developing and improving in leaps and bounds. The latest eco friendly vehicles were on display at the Revolve Eco Rally recently, driving en mass from Madeira Drive in Brighton to gather outside London's City Hall. The cars were driven by celebrity guest drivers and on arrival in London were met by Mayor Boris Johnson, himself a keen supporter of green transport, for the What Car? Green Awards.
The rally and award ceremony were intended to show what the latest developments in green cars are capable of, and vehicles received awards for a number of different reasons. The overall winner was the Volvo S40 DRIVe for combining its green credentials and supreme fuel efficiency with safety, security and being an all-round good small family car – it’s still not cheap though, and for around £50 more you can buy a Toyota Avensis, winner of the large family car category. Other winners were the Mini Cooper S, which won best green sports car for the second year running, and for those who still have cash to spare and can afford to buy an Audi the A8 was named best green luxury car. The innovative Tesla scooped the Editors Award for its battery-powered Roadster, for showing that electric cars can go the extra mile and proving that they can perform as well as any car enthusiast could hope.
And the result of all this? Well it looks like green cars are the future after all. Sure it’s true that they are still somewhat more expensive than most, but a time is fast approaching where they won’t cost the earth, and it looks like when that time comes people will be queueing up to buy one.
