From an online article: "The Lord of the Rings actor, Canterbury-born Orlando Bloom, who is a fervent environmental campaigner, was spotted stepping out of his compact Audi A3 diesel, the most environmentally friendly Audi model, at Stansted Airport, having told friends he was downsizing his transport in order to cut his carbon emissions.
Bloom, whose schedule requires him to fly between the USA and the UK on a regular basis, has finally found a car which will allow him to travel in and out of London with minimum impact to the environment - his Audi A3 TDIe is the version with a very low CO2 emission of just 119 grammes per kilometre and able to travel up to 890 miles on a single fill up.
Bloom’s eco-friendly Hollywood buddies are bound to be impressed with his car choice; Audi is currently spearheading the introduction of diesel technology in the USA, where it is only just catching on.
Audi has worked hard to ensure that even its largest model – the imposing seven-seat Q7 Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) - meets the stringent West Coast tailpipe emissions standards set by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in LA – the toughest environment rules of all of the 50 states."
