Press Release:Driving the motor industry green

Driving the motor industry green

Visitors to TheGreenCarWebsite.co.uk have revealed exactly what are the pressing concerns in the UK Motor Industry. Latest visitor figures show that greater numbers of people are looking to make the switch from their existing car to a greener alternative.

The rising prices at the fuel pumps has corresponded with increasing numbers of visitors on TheGreenCarWebsite.co.uk accessing pages on the most economical cars currently available on the market and the “Top 10 green cars in the UK”. Concerns over how hard Vehicle Excise Duty Reforms will affect motorists with older models; has also proven a massive driver of traffic to the website.

Expensive conventional fuels would also appear to be the root cause of the success of two further sections of the website which have seen a substantial increase in traffic; “Guide to LPG conversions” and the “Biofuel – the pros and cons”. These are proving to be a useful resource for visitors looking to find more information on credible alternatives available to diesel and petrol. LPG has also been reported* to be enjoying a revival, after the government ditched the “Powershift Grants” in 2005 which led to a downturn in conversions. Now LPG is once again looking like an excellent alternative to increasingly expensive conventional petrol and diesel fuel.
