Cars to carry CO2 label
By Christopher Tan, Senior Correspondent

This will be in addition to the fuel economy figures they need to have on their windscreen from April next year.

The National Environment Agency (NEA) said the CO2 and fuel economy figures are to raise consumers' awareness and 'to help them make informed choices' when buying a car.

With the labelling, consumers will be able to see for themselves how thirsty or polluting the car they are eyeing is when compared with other comparable models.
