The European Commission has launched a website to help public authorities and consumers choose the best available energy-efficient vehicle.  The Clean Vehicle Portal at www.cleanvehicle.eu aims to support a new directive promoting clean and energy efficient vehicles.  This means all public transport services must now take into account energy use, CO2 and pollutant emissions when buying new vehicles.  The site says it gives information on legislation and technical data in the largest vehicle database in Europe.  So far its advice seems confined to some cars and vans, minibuses and buses.  The Clean Vehicle Portal was developed and managed by the Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation.  Clearly its operators have some work still to do.
