What happened: An analysis shows UK vehicles could emit 17 million tonnes more CO2 by 2030 due to a loophole allowing more plug-in hybrid sales. Campaigners urge the government not to relax electric car sales targets despite industry pressure.
Why it matters:
- Increased CO2 emissions could hinder the UK’s climate goals.
- Consumers and the environment are affected by changes in vehicle regulations.
MNN Take: The data highlights the environmental impact of current vehicle policies and the importance of maintaining strict rules to reduce emissions from road transport.
