Are you traveling to Paris in the near future? Do you want to rent a car? Europcar and Aéroports de Paris have announced that during the Sustainable Development Week (until April 7th), car rentals for E85-compatible vehicles will be discounted 20 percent. The available vehicles include the Ford Focus and the Ford C-Max flexifuel, but only when picked up at any of Paris airports (Orly and Charles de Gaulle). On top of the 20 rental fee discount, fuel costs will be lowered as well: E85 in France currently costs just half as much as unleaded gasoline.

Europcar UK adds CO₂ data to vehicle information

Europcar and National are going to include their rental car's CO₂ emissions - along with size and transmissions - in vehicle descriptions in the United Kingdom. The idea is that cars will now be grouped according to how much they pollute.

The lowest emissions group will feature vehicles with average CO₂ emissions under 130 g/km. Models falling in this category are the small three-door hatchbacks, such as the Peugeot 107. The highest group will include cars with more than 230 g/km emissions, such as executive saloon automatic wagons like the Saab 9-5 or the Volvo V70.

Europcar announced that the company is exploring all technologies available, such as biofuels and new-tech diesels, in order to create a newer category for cars that emit under 120 g/km.
