Empirical results also revealed that even if the fuel economy of less fuel-efficient ordinary passenger vehicles were improved to levels comparable with those of the best available technology, i.e. hybrid passenger cars currently being produced in Japan, total CO 2 emissions would decrease by only 0.2%.

The environmental benefits of the scrappage scheme is certainly open for debate - but drivers that pick up the ultra-green new SEAT Ibiza SC Ecomotive will certainly be doing their bit for the cause. The Ibiza Ecomotive promises massive gains in fuel economy and significant reductions in CO2 emissions.

The scrappage scheme is only a few days old here in the UK and it has already come under fire. These payments vastly outstrip the estimated $500 a car it would cost to increase fuel economy by 10 per cent for all vehicles on the assembly line. What do you think of these proposals and the scrappage scheme in general?
