New car CO2 emissions are going very much in the wrong direction, this is a big problem, and the extraordinary explosion in the number of SUVs being sold is the main reason for this:
I was quite shocked when the analysis came up with a market penetration for all SUVs in the UK of 42% in 2019 and that it had quadrupled in less than a decade.
This is far higher than I had realised.
