As the governing body of motor sport and the representative of more than 100 million consumers worldwide, the FIA has been actively putting the environment on the top of its dual agendas.
Formula for the Environment
outlines the FIA’s environmental
efforts, from proposals for global
emission benchmarks by policy
makers to forward thinking
environmentally relevant initiatives
in motor sport such as the
introduction of energy recovery
systems in Formula One, highlighting
what the FIA is doing to reduce the
impact of motoring on the
environment.
The FIA’s Make Cars Green campaign aims to help reduce the impact of cars on the environment. The campaign’s 10 points for greener motoring encourage motorists to think green before they drive:
Buy Green

Check tyre pressures frequently
Reduce loads and avoid the need for roof racks
Don’t warm up your engine before starting off
Use air conditioning only when necessary
Accelerate gently and keep your speed constant
Use engine braking
Don’t idle your engine
Offset your CO 2 emissions
