Green cars
This year, 2008, there was a huge raise of registered green cars compared with last year. Not less than 8 627 new green cars were registered in September 2008 inSweden. This is almost 38 % of all cars registered in September in Sweden. The five most popular brands are: Saab 9-3 BioPower Volvo V70 Flexifuel, Volvo V50 Flexifuel, Saab 9-5 BioPower and Ford Focus Flexifuel.
It will be interesting to see the frequency of new registered cars in September next year 2009. In June next year the Swedish government takes away the bonus of 10 000 SEK every buyer of a green car, that fulfil the governments criteria in this matter, gets.

My mother tongue is Swedish but I write in English as environment issues crosses all borders.
