Opel 2012 Astra Brochure & Specs page 17

Always respecting our world.
We all share a responsibility to look after our world. That's why Opel has been at the forefront of green automotive
initiatives for many years. Most recently, we have been researching ways of developing new cars that are more efficient
than ever before. The forthcoming Opel Ampera* is an Extended Range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) that can drive 40-80
kilometres on battery power alone and over 500 kilometres utilising an on-board electric generator system. And of
course, we are always looking to reduce vehicle CO emissions. Our ecoFLEX range of engines not only benefit the
2
environment with lower CO emissions which help to lower your carbon footprint – they also benefit your budget as
2
all Astra ecoFLEX engines fit nicely into Tax Band A.
Our commitment to preserving the environment goes even further. We have dramatically reduced manufacturing
emissions, and our new models use more recycled materials and more recyclable parts than ever before. We also offer
free and easily accessible, environmentally friendly, end-of-life vehicle disposal at our authorised treatment facilities.
