List of "Eco" badge names that manufacturers use?

[FreeLitres]

This might look like a non-PH thread, but want an economical car for the week so that I have more fuel to burn in my TVR at weekends!

In true PH fashion, I have never looked for economical cars before. To help my searches, what are the "eco-model" badges that the various manufacturers use?

BMW: Efficient Dynamics
Citroën: AirDream
Fiat: EcoDrive
Ford: EcoBoost / Econetic
Honda: IMA - Integrated Motor Assist (hybrid)
Hyundai: Blue
Kia: Ecodynamics
Mercedes Benz: BlueEfficiency
Nissan: Pure drive
Peugeot: Oxygo
Renault: Eco2
Seat: EcoMotive
Skoda: GreenLine
Toyota: Optimal Drive/Hybrid Synergy Drive
Vauxhall: EcoFlex
Volvo: DRIVe
VW: Bluemotion

Of you know one, please post below.

ETA: I will add new ones here when people mention them - thanks for helping! (Jeeez, some of these greeny names are tedious!)

BMW: Efficient Dynamics.

[chriscoates]

Vauxhall: EcoFlex

Usually involves putting a hopelessly underpowered diesel engine into whichever model they choose, yes it may be good for the environment but it sounds like a bag of nails and getting it to move requires using half a clutch - at least that's what I found when I drove the god-awful Astra 1.3 CDTi EcoFlex. So whatever you do, don't buy one!

Thanks Kambites!

I'll edit these into my OP

Isn't Ford "Econotec" or something?

I don't understand the "blue" link in some of the names.

I seem to remember hearing there was an agreement between car manufacturers to not use "green" in the description of a car model, something about cars generally not being "green"

Although don't quote me on it as it's probably bollix

I have tried searching both these but I am not sure if these are official badges. Perhaps Toyota just rely on the Prius for their eco credentials?

Isn't it to do with the AdBlue additive that some manufacturers use to improve emissions (or something...?)
