2006 Honda Civic Hybrid

NIWA’s Greta Point campus is now the proud owner of this 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid. It’s mostly used for city driving when public transport is not a realistic option. At 4.6 litres per 100 km, the hybrid provides better fuel economy as well as lower emissions than our petrol-only vehicles. We still need station wagons and off-road vehicles for field trips and transporting scientific equipment, but we hope the hybrid options will expand as our other vehicles come up for replacement.
