Toyota stays cleanest: The Kraftfahrtbundesamt or KBA (Germany’s Federal Motor Vehicle and Transport Authority) ranks the Japanese as the cleanest high-volume manufacturer on the German market. Toyota’s average carbon emissions in 2013 was 121.2 g/km per car, which is 4.7% less than in 2012. The reduction is a result of the increased demand for hybrids (up 41% from 2012) which made up 28% of Toyota’s sales in Germany last year.
