The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) are quoted saying that “the European Commission aims to set legally binding fuel and CO2 standards for vans before the end of the year.”

For the van buyer in Britain, being eco-friendly can be problematic.  Many manufacturers still refuse to make their emission levels public knowledge.  However, alternatives are available to the traditional diesel and petrol engines.  Vansdirect.co.uk stock cheap LPG alternatives - which can produce 90% less particulates!
