20th September 2007 marks the official launch of WhatGreenCar? - the only green car website to give an independent environmental rating for all new cars in the UK. For car-buyers who are after a cute city runaround, a family saloon or an executive auto, WhatGreenCar? provides the ultimate guide to buying the most eco-friendly car.

WhatGreenCar? has already received extensive press coverage and is establishing strong links with key organisations within the automotive sector. One of our first major partnerships has been to assist MSN cars with providing top-quality information and ratings for visitors to their site. WhatGreenCar? will be working with other information providers to ensure that the WhatGreenCar? rating system becomes widely used throughout the industry and becomes well known to the general public.

Tom Evans (Manager), MSN Cars: "WhatGreenCar? is unique in coming up with a way to judge the environmental impact of every car on the market: from the day it is built to the day it goes to the crusher. WGC’s comprehensive guide gives consumers a way to make proper judgments about the ecological effect of their car buying decisions, which can only be a good thing for all."

We have also received support from other key organisations within the car industry, including Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership and GreenFleet, that are working hard to reduce the environmental impacts of new cars by promoting cleaner and greener vehicles.

Our press presence is already growing and we anticipate becoming a major partner to the UK motoring & environmental media providing independent green assessments for all vehicles. As an example, in July the Guardian website ran a major article listing the WhatGreenCar? selection of the Top 10 green wheels (by class) for summer 2007. An updated Top 10 Green Wheels selection is to appear in The Guardian website (Environment section) on a quarterly basis.
