At Holden, we're on a journey. Heading in a direction that we like to call 'Future Friendly'. It's about providing you with a range of cars that give you better fuel efficiency today, while continuing to develop next generation fuel advances that are more efficient and better for the environment. We've called this range of vehicles 'EcoLine'.
  • Being future friendly means that we're investing more in new technologies and developing more alternative fuel vehicles than ever before.
    It's not just about the future though. Diesel versions of the Epica, Astra and Captiva as well as Commodores that run on LPG are all available in the showroom today. These cars are designed to be friendlier on your hip pocket at the pump, and that's never been more important than now.
  • Soon we'll be launching a V8 with Active Fuel Management (AFM), which is so intelligent it can shut down four cylinders in certain driving conditions for better fuel efficiency. We're developing engines that run on up to 85% ethanol, and we're constantly improving the heart of the Commodore, making sure that New Zealand's favourite large car will remain that way for many years to come.
    So yes, we have a philosophy for the future, but we're looking after you in the present as well.
Holden's EcoLine range of future friendly vehicles. Go Better.
