Many policymakers around the world have imposed restrictions and ban on Diesel Engines around the Globe. Diesel Engine is considered to be the largest contributor of pollutants to the Environment. Diesel Engine smoke has a catastrophic effect on human health. So the question arises: Is Manufacturing Diesel Engines Still worth it?
Polluting SUVs have the carbon footprint of a major industrial nation
The market for the cars is booming despite campaigns to reduce emissions.
“Global SUV sales have increased from around 10 million in 2010 to more than 30 million in 2021, according to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA). In terms of market share, this translates into growth from 16.5 per cent of the market in 2010 to 45.9 per cent in 2021. While there was a slight drop in sales in 2020, 2021 was a record year for the market, with growth of 10 per cent.
“The problem with typical, non-electric SUVs is that they produce 25 per cent more carbon emissions on average than a medium-sized car. The growth in the SUV market means that, if these so-called ‘Chelsea tractors’ were a country, the 900 million tonnes of carbon they emit each year would make them the sixth biggest emitter in the world, above industrial powerhouses such as Germany and South Korea.”
