Autoebid.com is offering to offset 3 tonnes CO2 for every car bought through the ‘Greener Motoring' section of its website, at no extra cost.
The offer marks the launch of Autoebid.com's new search facility which allows web visitors to view and sort cars by their environmental friendliness rating, to create an initial shortlist purely on the basis of CO2 emissions. Having selected each car, they can then proceed to configure it to their exact specification before receiving a total price for the brand new UK supplied vehicle with discounts of up to several thousand pounds. (As a 'reverse auction' website it is the car dealers who bid to supply customers with their specified vehicle at the lowest price.)
AutoeBid managing director, Amin Saleem, explained:
"The government is struggling to influence car buyers' habits and road transport CO2 emissions are expected to grow by 8% between 2000 and 2010 - despite substantial increases in fuel efficiency over the last decade. AutoeBid's 'Greener Motoring' website gives buyers the opportunity to search for new cars on the basis of their environmental impact whilst offering huge savings through UK main dealers - and we'll pay to neutralise their emissions at the same time."
