German cars 'least green in EU' (BBC)
Most cars sold in Europe are becoming more fuel-efficient, but German carmakers are going backwards according to a study by a green pressure group.

Transport and Environment (T&E) says an average new German car produced more CO2 per kilometre in 2006 than in 2005.

Among big German manufacturing groups, only BMW made progress, it says.

Cars made by French and Italian groups were 1.6% more efficient, it adds, but only two are close to hitting a 2008 target of 140g of CO2 per kilometre.

This target was adopted by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) in 1998.
