We all know that sport utility vehicles aren't the most ecologically friendly cars you can drive, but their environmental impact is possibly greater than many realize., the global fleet of 330 million SUVs produces more carbon emissions on its own than the combined carbon emission output of entire nations."A strong increase in sales of electric models was not enough to prevent carbon dioxide emissions from SUVs worldwide reaching almost 1 billion tonnes in 2022," the report said.
"Between 2021 and 2022, oil use in conventional cars, excluding SUVs, remained roughly the same, but the oil consumption of SUVs globally increased by 500 000 barrels per day, accounting for one-third of the total growth in oil demand," the report goes on to say. "On average, SUVs consume around 20% more oil than an average medium-size non-SUV car. The combustion-related CO2 emissions of SUVs increased by nearly 70 million tonnes in 2022.
