The initiative is expected...

The initiative is expected to be rolled out across dealers in time for September"s new 55 registration and, although voluntary, all the makers have signed up to it. Cars will be graded according to C02 emissions and categorised into six coloured bands - similar to the system used for fridges. This information will be displayed in the windscreen, along with data such as likely annual fuel costs.

Supermarket chain Tesco...

Supermarket chain Tesco has teamed up with Motorpoint to allow its customers to put Clubcard loyalty scheme vouchers towards new and used vehicles from the automotive giant. As part of the deal, Clubcard coupons are worth four times their face value when being used to buy a car, so a чЈ2.50 voucher can be redeemed for чЈ10 against a forecourt price. Tesco customers can even hoard vouchers for up to two years, allowing shoppers to save hundreds of pounds.
