Volvo has launched personal CO2-counter called Commute Greener, which can be accessed through a mobile phone or a website.

It enables users to see by how much carbon dioxide emissions are reduced or increased using different means of transportations, for example bus, car, car pooling or bike.

The service also provides an online community for exchanging experience and for competitions between colleagues, friends and family members about the possible size of reductions in carbon dioxide emissions.

“Our tests have shown that individuals can quickly reduce their carbon dioxide emissions by more than 30% using Commute Greener,” said Magnus Holmqvist at Volvo IT.
