Cars and ecology

To save fuel and money, but also to protect the environment and fight against the greenhouse effect, the choice of car type is important. To buy an ecological car, you must first of all be concerned about your carbon emissions, which have been mandatory in most European countries for decades.

Electric cars

In Europe and most countries around the world, the transport sector is the main contributor to urban pollution. The electric car seems to be a good solution to this environmental and public health problem. But to estimate its true ecological footprint, it is the entire life cycle that must be examined.

Choosing your “clean” car

Since the end of the 1990s and the appearance of the first hybrid car, the Toyota Prius, the supply of “clean” vehicles has increased. The choice is therefore more varied today with the appearance of models that are 100% electric or equipped with an autonomy extender, as is the case with the Opel Ampera or BMW i3.
