Green NCAP’s Post

🌎 The Kia Ceed finishes with 2 Green Stars 🌎 Green NCAP recently performed its assessment on the petrol-powered Kia Ceed⛽. The popular and affordable hatchback scores the lowest so far this 2024 with 2 Green Stars and an Average Score of 37%. 🍃 The Ceed’s environmental performance calls for further improvements in emissions reduction and fuel economy. It struggles most with greenhouse gas emissions, namely CO2, like most other fossil-fuelled cars. Pollutants are managed only marginally, and the vehicle fails to retain exhaust aftertreatment robustness in the Highway Test. Here, the carbon monoxide (CO) emissions are far above Green NCAP’s gross exceedance thresholds, and the total Highway Test score is set to zero.⛽ Know more about its results here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eKv78VVz 🚗 Read the full press release here 👉 bit.ly/2409GreenNCAPPR 🚗 Kia Europe #forgreenercars #cars #sustainability #lifecycleassessment #futuremobility #greenmobility #cleanair 💨 #vehicletesting #zeroemissions #LCAtool 🔧 #fossilfuel #EV #electric #hybrid ⚡⛽ #petrol ⛽ #diesel ⛽ #families 👨👩👧👦 #family #familycar #suv #ICE #Kia #Ceed

Green NCAP are proud to support valued member Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) Region I with this new report on the environmental sustainability and energy efficiency of electric vehicles (EV’s). Together we wish and will deliver on supporting, informing and assisting consumers in understanding and taking part in the sustainable transition to cleaner cars. 🚗 Aleksandar Damyanov #forgreenercars

🌎 The Volkswagen Taigo takes 3 Green Stars 🌎 Green NCAP recently performed its assessment on the petrol Volkswagen Taigo⛽. The light compact crossover lands a mid-rating of 3 Green Stars and an Average Score of 53%. 🍃 The vehicle convinces consumers with good gaseous pollutant levels, and particle emissions lower than those of many of its competitors. In terms of energy efficiency, the Taigo scores 5.2/10, which is good but not outstanding. ⛽ Know more about its results here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eFFjUwnB 🚗 Read the full press release here 👉 bit.ly/2409GreenNCAPPR 🚗 Volkswagen #forgreenercars #cars #sustainability #lifecycleassessment #futuremobility #greenmobility #cleanair 💨 #vehicletesting #zeroemissions #LCAtool 🔧 #fossilfuel #EV #electric #hybrid ⚡⛽ #petrol ⛽ #diesel ⛽ #families 👨👩👧👦 #family #familycar #suv #ICE #Volkswagen #Taigo

🌎 The Peugeot 308 grabs 3 Green Stars 🌎 Green NCAP recently performed its assessment on the diesel-fuelled Peugeot 308⛽. Working with its BlueHDi diesel engine, the hatchback secures a mid-rating of 3 Green Stars and an Average Score of 55%. 🍃 The diesel powertrain is convincing not only with its reasonable fuel consumption values but also as it scores well in Clean Air with decent control of pollutant output. While the performance of the state-of-the-art exhaust aftertreatment system remained robust and effective under most test conditions, additional improvements are possible in this hatchback, especially regarding NOx emissions in short urban trips with cold engine start, and in congestion. ⛽ Know more about its results here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ez3ARvwp 🚗 Read the full press release here 👉 bit.ly/2409GreenNCAPPR 🚗 Peugeot #forgreenercars #cars #sustainability #lifecycleassessment #futuremobility #greenmobility #cleanair 💨 #vehicletesting #zeroemissions #LCAtool 🔧 #fossilfuel #EV #electric #hybrid ⚡⛽ #petrol ⛽ #diesel ⛽ #families 👨👩👧👦 #family #familycar #suv #ICE #Peugeot #308

🌎 The BYD SEAL U secures itself of 5 Green Stars 🌎 Green NCAP recently performed its assessment on the electric BYD SEAL U⚡. Noted by some as “BYD’s most convincing entry into Europe yet,” the large SUV obtains 5 Green Stars and an Average Score of 93%. 🍃 Thanks to its zero tailpipe emissions, good energy efficiency, and minimal greenhouse gas emissions, the SEAL-U emerges on par with other tested BYD models: the BYD ATTO 3 in 2023 and the BYD DOLPHIN in 2024. However, the programme recommends that BYD further improve the efficiency of its onboard charger. With 11 kW charging, normally about 89% of the energy withdrawn from the plug is available for the vehicle to use. In the case of the SEAL U, Green NCAP measured only around 87%.🔌 Know more about its results here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ef2w68_Y 🚗 Read the full press release here 👉 bit.ly/2409GreenNCAPPR 🚗 BYD EUROPE #forgreenercars #cars #sustainability #lifecycleassessment #futuremobility #greenmobility #cleanair 💨 #vehicletesting #zeroemissions #LCAtool 🔧 #fossilfuel #EV #electric #hybrid ⚡⛽ #petrol ⛽ #diesel ⛽ #families 👨👩👧👦 #family #familycar #suv #ICE #BYD #SEALU

🌎 The Kia EV6 succeeds with 5 Green Stars 🌎 Green NCAP recently performed its assessment on the electric Kia EV6⚡. Awarded as the European Car of the Year in 2022, the 2024 hatchback earns 5 Green Stars and an Average Score of 94%. 🍃 The EV6’s Highway and Cold Ambient Test energy demand figures are responsible for scores notably lower than those of the Hyundai IONIQ 6 tested in 2024 but do earn the EV6 the same rating as the IONIQ 5 tested in 2022. The Kia EV6 also shares the same grid-to-battery output efficiency as the Toyota bZ4X, resulting in remarkably minimised energy losses from its charger and battery. Despite the size and mass of the EV6 and its unspectacular consumption values, the car remains a viable and generally efficient electric option.🔌 Know more about its results here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eSDZBX8T 🚗 Read the full press release here 👉 bit.ly/2409GreenNCAPPR 🚗 Kia Europe #forgreenercars #cars #sustainability #lifecycleassessment #futuremobility #greenmobility #cleanair 💨 #vehicletesting #zeroemissions #LCAtool 🔧 #fossilfuel #EV #electric #hybrid ⚡⛽ #petrol ⛽ #diesel ⛽ #families 👨👩👧👦 #family #familycar #suv #ICE #Kia #EV6

🌎 The Toyota bZ4X leads the pack with 5 Green Stars 🌎 Green NCAP recently performed its assessment on the electric Toyota bZ4X⚡. Toyota's first dedicated electric SUV easily achieves 5 Green Stars after achieving an Average Score of 97%. 🍃 The SUV delivers impressive scores across all environmental categories, particularly in efficiency with a good grid-to-battery-output result of 90.4%, a value slightly above the average of Green NCAP’s tested EV fleet. With no tailpipe emissions, the bZ4X is a desirable choice for consumers seeking family vehicles with a minimal impact on the environment. 🔌 Know more about its results here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eTdbqPRQ Read the full press release here 👉 bit.ly/2409GreenNCAPPR 🚗 Toyota Motor Europe #forgreenercars #cars #sustainability #lifecycleassessment #futuremobility #greenmobility #cleanair 💨 #vehicletesting #zeroemissions #LCAtool 🔧 #fossilfuel #EV #electric #hybrid ⚡⛽ #petrol ⛽ #diesel ⛽ #families 👨👩👧👦 #family #familycar #suv #ICE #Toyota #bZ4X
