According to fresh figures from Swedish car industry organization Bil Sweden, newly registered so-called 'super-eco cars' accounted for 4.1 percent of all new cars in the first seven months of this year. Super-eco cars are vehicles with less than 50g/km carbon dioxide emissions. "New registrations of super-eco cars have increased by 34 percent so far this year," said Bil Sweden CEO Bertil Moldén. "In real terms that means that around 9,000 super-eco cars have been registered this year. Even though super-eco cars are increasing from low levels, it is a positive environmental trend which we're seeing alongside the gradual increase of electric cars every year."
