New Car Buyer's Guide

Greenwheels is an online guide enabling consumers to assess greenhouse emissions of all new passenger cars sold in Australia.

This joint initiative of Future Climate Australia, RACV and EPA Victoria, Greenwheels ranks vehicles by their greenhouse gas emissions and provides information about technologies and fuels and how these impact on climate change.

It provides a guide to the best performing cars in particular classes, such as small, medium, large, off-road, ute or light truck.

In three simple steps it shows users how to select a vehicle that compliments their lifestyle needs without excessive greenhouse impact.
