Partner Article: Classic Car Emissions = A Return Flight From London To NY

This is a partner article from October 2022 from a Net-Hero partner, The Classic Valuer.

Research out this week shows that driving a classic car produces the same emissions as a return flight from London to New York

Produced by UK based automotive communications agency, Loop, Quantifying Classic Car Emissions 2022 shows the environmental impact of utilising a classic car for a year - 641kg of CO2e. That’s less than a return flight from London to New York and only slightly more than having three lattes a day.

In context of the wider emissions landscape it means classic cars generate only 0.22% of all UK transport emissions.

The future is under threat, logic wins out in the end. The logic on classic car emissions holds, and this is more evidence of it. Spread the word.
