Global Spotlight Report #56: Passenger Car Trends

Introduction A typical passenger vehicle emits approximately 4.6 metric tonnes of CO2 per year. This assumes that the average gasoline vehicle on the road today has a fuel economy of approximately 22.0 miles per gallon and travels approximately 11,500 miles per year. There are many old cars on the road that still reflect these kinds...

Less than 1% of the 250 Million Cars, SUVs, and Light-Duty Trucks on the Road in the United States are Electric 

The United States is commonly regarded as a car-centric country, with cars being a dominant American mode of transport. U.S. infrastructure and road rules tend to privilege cars over other road users such as cyclists and pedestrians. Cars have been a major component of American culture, particularly since the 1950s.   Since 2009, the United States is home to the second largest passenger vehicle market of any country...

Increase in the Purchase of Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicles (ULEVs) in the UK with the End of New Petrol and Diesel Car Sales by 2030

A typical passenger vehicle emits approximately 4.6 metric tonnes of CO2 per year. This assumes that the average gasoline vehicle on the road today has a fuel economy of approximately 22.0 miles per gallon and travels approximately 11,500 miles per year. Every gallon of gasoline burned emits approximately 8,887 grams of CO2. Furthermore, pollutants emitted by...
