The current decline is ales of diesel light duty vehicle in Europe does not put EU CO 2 targets out of reach of automakers, according to a new analysis by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). In addition, vehicle manufacturers increasingly use electric motors to complement conventional combustion engines in cars.

FEBRUARY 27, 2018

The UK automotive industry warned that the current anti-diesel agenda combined with the ongoing slow take-up of electric vehicles could mean industry misses its next round of CO 2 targets in 2021, with negative consequences for the UK’s own climate change goals. However, this increase was not enough to offset a -17.1%

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023

As the world grapples with the pressing issue of climate change, it is evident that we need swift action to avert its worst impacts. Enter electric vehicles: a practical step toward reducing carbon emissions and reinforcing sustainable practices. There’s no better time than now to join the electric vehicle revolution.
