The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier.

Same in the UK. Very curious how all over the world, governments created exactly the same tax loophole. I can’t think which highly resourced industry might have been involved in “advising” them

At least in Switzerland, people were really using them for work until a few days ago.

It was only farmers, carpenters or builders until it became a trend.

I guess the law was okay before but they never thought that someone would want to have such a huge vehicle just to get groceries 😅

Which pollutes more: a new SUV or a 10-year-old conventional vehicle?
