Two manufacturers in the main, being Volkswagen and BMW, have concentrated much of their efforts on re-engineering existing technology in an effort to improve the performance of their vehicles with special reference to CO2 emissions and fuel economy.

Volkswagen - Bluemotion Range
2007 saw Volkswagen launch their Bluemotion range first seen on their Polo model. The development of Bluemotion included weight reduction of the vehicle, changes to the gear ratios, improved aero-dynamica and revisions to the engine including turbo charging and the introduction of a particular filter. The net effects of their developments is that the Polo Bluemotion 1 has a class leading CO2 of 99g/km and a fuel economy of circa 72.4 mpg. Volkswagen have also introduced Golf and Passat Bluemotion models.

BMW - EfficientDynamics
BMW's EfficientDynamic range is available on their 1, 3 and 5 series models and includes such innovations as high precision injection, auto stop start function, brake energy regeneration and particular filters. With the introduction of these technologies, BMW has been able to significantly reduce the CO2 output and improve on fuel economy.
