Who the hell do you believe? Does the Taxi Trade get persecuted just because of the lies of the Motor Industry? Just because a few people have picked up on some spin about diesel engines? It seems that all types of engines are bad, EVEN THE HYBRID!
“In fact one petrol-hybrid was the 11th highest CO emitter we’ve found so far!” (Which?)
“Our testing has found that almost all modern diesel cars exceed official emissions limits when tested in real-world conditions. We even found some hybrids breaking the limits too. So how can we trust car emissions claims?” Read more (Which?)
“Worryingly, in our tests, two thirds of petrol cars put out more CO into the air than they’re allowed to. The worst created more than five times the amount of CO than the official limit. And it’s not just sporty or big cars that are to blame – several superminis with small capacity engines are among the top offenders. And some were so bad that they couldn’t even meet the early ‘Euro 1’ limits from 1993 – which are pretty lenient compared to modern standards.” Read more (Which?)
“To our surprise we also found some hybrid cars are also breaking emission laws. Testing revealed that some petrol-hybrid cars emit more CO than they’re allowed – in fact one petrol-hybrid was the 11th highest CO emitter we’ve found so far.” Read more (Which?)
“One recent study by scientists in EV-friendly Norway has found that in some circumstances electric cars can have a greater impact on global warming than conventional cars.” Read more (BBC)
THE REAL OFFENDER HERE IS THE CAR MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY! Until they are made to change by the Government, then nothing will change, and no age limits or specifications on types of engines will change anything at all, other than to serve to persecute the honest hard working individual, who sits out there day an night so that you can be driven home safely!
