Like a disease, giant cars are spreading. 🚗
In the US 4 out of 5 new cars are now #SUVs or pickups, a sharp increase from a few decades ago.
In Europe cars are also growing.
Acc to the International Energy Agency, in 2023 the growth in big cars increased oil consumption worldwide by 500,000 barrels per day and generated 20 % of the entire global increase in man-made CO2.
