The Sign Has Arrived!

We have been in the new Eco Forecourt office now for a number of months and while we have been getting on with work really well, there are still a few things missing from the place to make it feel complete. Namely, Grass on the floor, a couple of really cool chairs and a great big Eco Forecourt logo on the wall! Well, the logo has just arrived! And we would like to share it with you because we are as excited as kids on Christmas day here! Check it out...

Whats cool about these signs is that they peel off the wall no problem and stick to pretty much any flat surface, so if we are going to a show or want to use it for promotion else where, we just whip it off the wall and stick up anywhere we go! Pretty cool right?

Updates to follow on the grass and chairs in the near future, thats going to be a big job!

BIG Decision - Seriously Eco

Today we made a pretty big decision at EcoForecourt. Until today we capped the C02 of our cars at a pretty respectful 155g/km C02, by large this is not bad going for most vehicles. However, we are ECO Forecourt and so we want to do exactly as our name suggests and bring you low carbon, green cars ONLY.

As a result this afternoon we have committed to capping our cars C02 at a highly respectful 130g/km C02.

What's the big deal you say? Well to give you an idea of why this is such a dramatic change for us, yesterday we had around 1000 cars on the site, today due to the re-capping our stock count has taken a significant hit and we are back down to around 150 cars! Almost like day 1.

It was a really hard decision for us but in the long run we believe this to be the best choice for our visitors. You don't expect to walk into an organic store and find your experience tainted by picking up battery produce, so why should you expect to visit our Eco car website and have your search results contaminated by the thought that some of our stock might not quite be as eco as you think.

We want to commit to eco in as big-a-way as possible and by making this drastic change we can be 100% confident in our message to our customers and guarantee that every car on EcoForecourt.com is 100% Eco with regards to the government criteria.

So, here are the benefits:

As all the cars on EcoForecourt are 130g/km C02 or under, we GUARANTEE that you will not pay a penny more than £90 for your road tax, with the majority of the cars listed with us being either £30, £20 or FREE. Pretty cool we think!

The cars on the site will fit into emissions bands A,B,C & D - those that are in band A have FREE road tax, free parking benefits where applicable and FREE congestion charge in London and other congestion areas too (do make sure that is assigned to your numberplate by the DVLA)

Running costs are typically substantially less with our cars from all sorts of areas indicated below:

• Fuel
• Insurance
• Road Tax
• Maintenance
• Free Parking (where applicable)
• CC Exempt (where applicable)
• Zero Emissions on many models.

Of course not only will eco cars be saving your wallet but they are also helping the environment too. Lowering our carbon footprint is the end goal and by looking for cars on Eco Forecourt now you can be 100% confident you are going green regardless of what you end up finding on our website.

Thank you so much for visiting us and we are really looking forward to the future of motoring with you.

We are integrating! Eco Forecourt Links With Green-Car-Guide

Our first month out of beta and we are really happy to announce that we are forming a partnership with our friends over at www.Green-Car-Guide.com. By placing our Eco Forecourt search box on their homepage, green car fans from around the country, and indeed the world will be able to search directly through our stock at Eco Forecourt while still reading the recommendations and reviews of the Green Car Guide. Until recently there hasn't been a hub where green cars are collected in one easy place and we are delighted to be able to team up with such an enthusiastic team and help people identify what exactly is an eco car and point them in the right direction to getting in one! The Green Car Guide has been established since 2006 and has been writing about the latest industry news and reviews ever since and have become the go-to place for any and all info concerning the future of motoring and advice on which eco car could be for you. They also offer a fantastic Free Green Car Guide download indicating the very best glow carbon, eco cars in each category. The integration of the two sites should be complete by next week upon which we will let you know how it's going!
