Reaching the wider
media:
Scrappage, and The Daily
Telegraph
We want to be the first
port of call for the media
You will not always
agree with us, but you
won’t be throwing things
at the TV
Measured analysis from
people who understand
the issues
Not finger-pointing
Recommend CGC to
journalists looking for
comments.
Reaching a unique
audience.
We have undertaken
analysis projects for
Ford, VW, BMW etc.
We are the main source
of data for CO2 analysis
at all levels:
TIV
Segment
Manufacturer
Model
We were commissioned
by VW to build a CO2
modelling system for
2012 - 2015.
We now have the most
comprehensive
environment databases
in the UK.
We are the only
organisation that
calculates the fine each
company has to pay
from 2012 given current
performance.
We can model future
CO2 performance.

understood.
“Small cars are better for
CO2 targets” is not
always true. 0

The truth is that a large saloon with a 2.0 diesel often incurs a smaller fine than a city car with a 1.2 petrol.
The rogues in your model range may not be the ones you expect.
Now for the science bit...

Journalistic: complex choices
for the consumer – a bad
choice can be catastrophic.
Commercial: help us to help
you – we cannot help each
other using conventional
metrics.
Analytical: we can help you
work out CO2 liabilities.
National sales companies will
pay the fines.
