Have you any links about this - it's certainly an impressive stance to take. I'd certainly welcome a move like this in the UK. I think that many of the moves to discourage use of fuel guzzlers is too "softly softly" (e.g. if you can afford to buy and run a 4*4 then you can afford the £400 car tax a year as opposed to the standard £170+) although there would be immense uproar.
I think that car manufacturers need to take a really solid stance on this and focus on making cars as efficient as possible and hiking prices on inefficient cars even more (if people really want them, they'll pay almost anything)

I do have a link to the CNN story I read about it. It's a very progressive and admirable endeavor:
