# ALTERNATIVE NAME 1: Statement 1 - Car manufacturers are primarily responsible for the emissions their cars produce. They design and manufacture the cars and are responsible for ensuring their cars meet emissions targets. Car manufacturers are responsible for researching and testing alternative types of motors that produce fewer emissions. Customers are becoming more environmentally conscious and businesses can benefit from taking a more environmentally friendly approach.
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 2: Statement 2 - Yes, car manufacturers are responsible for the emissions their cars produce. The manufacturers have to ensure their cars meet the regulation standards. Car manufacturers have to contribute to emissions targets being met.
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 3: Statement 3 - Car manufacturers have a duty to provide an environmentally friendly product to their customers. They should be held responsible for any emissions their cars produce and as such should take all necessary measures to reduce these emissions.
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 4: Statement 4 - Car manufacturers are responsible for the emissions their cars produce. Car manufacturers have to meet emission standards, if they are to sell cars in a particular country. If a car is a significant pollutant, this will be highlighted by independent bodies and the car manufacturer will be held accountable. Car manufacturers are also in a position to innovate and research new technology and improvements in the manufacturing process, in order to create low-emission vehicles. If the car manufacturer doesn't take this approach, then it is up to the customer to decide if they want to purchase this particular vehicle.
