Caravan enthusiasts may be interested to hear the Climate Change Committee has suggested a number of methods for cutting transport carbon emissions.
The government advisory body recently published a report stating that eco-driving lessons, tougher speed limits on motorways and increased road pricing could help drive down greenhouse gas levels.
Backing the proposals, WhatGreenCar.com managing editor Ben Lane explained they would be likely to have a positive effect over the longer term.
“We are supportive of the fact that road pricing is one of the measures which will help to control carbon [emissions] and fuel use more efficiently,” he said.
However, Mr Lane added that the governments should also invest additional funding into the UK public transport system.
The expert concluded that other options had to be available if people are to be encouraged to leave their cars at home.
The measures could affect the UK’s thousands of caravan enthusiasts who spend their summer weekends holidaying in their mobile homes.
