Currently reading: Car makers must work together to avoid huge CO2 'over-spend'

Polestar and Rivian-backed report finds car industry is on track to overshoot CO2 reduction target by 75%

Car makers are being called on to work together to dramatically reduce the environmental impact of passenger vehicles, as a new study shows the industry is on track to miss its decarbonisation targets by a wide margin, potentially threatening the wider global initiative to limit global warming to 1.5deg C. 

A new report – based on publicly accessible data and supported by EV manufacturers Polestar and Rivian – shows that the global car industry is not moving fast enough to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and must take action in the short-term future to avoid vastly overshooting its decarbonisation targets.

Manufacturers are doing their worst by introducing faster and bigger cars all the time. Even the EV models are ridiculously larger and taller and less aerodynamic than they need to be. EV adverts and reviews seem focused on acceleration and speed of charging - both very wasteful. Wheels on anything but the base model get bigger and bigger, and last week you reported on a test that showed the bigger wheels have worse consumption! 

Journalists seem all to laud the above features.
