smart is a proud partner of Live Earth because we are convinced that the time has come to "open our minds" and question the status quo. smart responds to environmental demands with innovative, technologically sound solutions and as a result produces positive and credible answers to the question of ecological driving. It comes naturally, therefore, to take on responsibility like Live Earth does.

So come join Live Earth and smart to make a difference and bring about change.

Have you ever asked yourself how changes actually happen? You will only find unusual solutions by asking unusual questions. "open your mind" is a call to question the status quo and to see it as setting challenges rather than limits. This is what the smart brand is about. Go on, ask a question.

We'll make it easy and ask one for you:

Why spend 2 liters of gas to get 1 liter of milk?

Why should people spend more money on gas than on the milk they carry home? The smart fortwo cdi (diesel version) is the only car that gets 60 miles per gallon! That not only saves money, it also saves our environment. The emission of a smart fortwo, with just 88 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) per kilometre or 140.8 g per mile, is already the lowest worldwide. All smart fortwo emission levels are way below the current legal guidelines - and those of the future, too. Wasting gas is just not smart!

Only those who question the status quo can change it. Today, it is the environment that needs our most innovative ideas. smart helps tackle this global challenge by taking action and retaining the fun factor in driving. The core brand values ensure that smart constantly develops and delivers solutions that protect the environment. We believe that it is time for all of us to open our minds.
