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.
