It doesn't get any greener, at least as far as the carbon footprint of company cars is concerned in a nationwide comparison: According to a comparison by the German Environmental Aid, no other state father is chauffeured around more cleanly than Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann (Greens).
Accordingly, his brand new electric company car blows 70 grams of CO2 into the air every kilometer.
Stuttgart – His Saxon colleague Michael Kretschmer (CDU) drives a diesel and ends up in second place with 204 grams per kilometer.
The dirty air taillight among the heads of government is the petrol engine of Volker Bouffier (CDU) with 488 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
To be fair, one has to say: Kretschmann has only had the new company car since mid-February.

The German Environmental Aid regularly looks into politicians' garages and calculates how polluting their company cars are.
The DUH values for CO2 emissions are not identical to the information provided by the car companies.
The official cars of all ministers of the green-black state government did quite well in the emissions analysis this time - the state government came second overall in a national comparison.
