From the development of the first city coupe model, the smart brand (Swatch Mercedes Art) has always been pursuing out-of-the-ordinary approaches. A primary characteristic was a courageous design which integrated structural elements such the Tridion safety cell as a significant part of automotive styling in a self-assured manner.

At 30g CO2 per passenger kilometre the express coach is the most carbon efficient form of motorised transport resulting in less than a quarter of the emissions per passenger than equivalent journey by car. Average number of people in a car is just 1.58, compared to 32 on a coach. Congestion dramatically increases CO2 emissions from road vehicles.

There are certainly fast green cars out there, as we recently proved in our mini 'green grand prix' at Silverstone. However, energy efficiency is greatly reduced when travelling in excess of 70mph and this is one of the main reasons why 'eco-friendly' cars are generally 'not that fast'. A top speed of over 70mph is largely irrelevant anyway as there are few places in the world where it's actually legal to drive that fast. Despite this, we can't help but fantasize about super-fast cars and it's often used as a very effective selling point.
Here at eco-rally.org, we do publish the top speed for every vehicle that has appeared in our events, but we also publish the more useful 'average city speed', i.e. how fast you can accelerate to the speed-limit and maintain it whilst zipping through congested traffic. This is where small, lightweight electric cars and bikes tend to excel. Registered users can compare all green vehicle stats here: http://www.eco-rally.org/compare.
