UK diesel sales hit record levels

New car sales grew by two-and-a- half per cent in 2007 – with diesels snatching a record 40.2 per cent of the market. The demand for superminis and small family cars also went up, contributing to the average CO2 figure per vehicle dropping to 164g/km – a fall of 13.7 per cent since 1997. A total of 2.4 million cars left showrooms according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.
