Is buying a new car environmentally friendly?

admin — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 17:46:11 +0000

I used to live out in the country so I have a "gas guzzling" Jeep Cherokee, but now live in town. I was thinking of buying a Prius but then wondered just how much CO2 is produced making and shipping them, compared to how much is ‘saved’ by having one? How many years would it take for the CO2 saved on an ongoing basis to exceed the CO2 created by making the car in the first place?

The general model is that it takes 20 years to recover the CO2 from a new car compared to running an older less efficient car. The model shown by Steve has been shown to be missnig many key CO2 uses, includnig al the extra CO2 generated by the factory staff who now have more money to spend ! Its a complex model and each spin takes it further and further way from buying a new car.

As a new car wouldn’t last that long it makes no sense to regularly change your car from an environmental point of view.
