Plant production, eco-friendly materials and e-mobility are all factored in. As much as we laud automakers for doing whatever they can to make their cars more efficient and kinder to the environment, the truth is that the cars themselves account for a very small part of the overall footprint that manufacturers leave on the planet. This is why Rimac built its new HQ to be entirely carbon-neutral, and others are following suit. Porsche is doing what it can and Bugatti has committed to carbon neutrality too.
