If you are looking for an environmentally friendly automobile, think about getting a hybrid car or one running on natural-gas. In terms of CO2 emissions both perform significantly better than gasoline or diesel fuelled vehicles. On behalf of the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN), Empa has conducted an investigation into the CO2 emissions of hybrid cars. When compared to natural gas fuelled vehicles, hybrids do better during inner-city driving, whereas on the motorway natural gas has the upper hand.
