"The entire industry has made incredible advances in reducing CO2 emissions", said Nasir Shah, global business development director at Jato. The Fiat group is currently spearheading the revolution but it's fair to say that all manufacturers have made remarkable progress in recent years."
"Clearly, when analysing volume-weighted average CO2 figures, it's the manufacturers with product portfolios dominated by small cars that will perform the best. Given the product range of both BMW and Mercedes, their respective performances are particularly impressive."
