Plug-in Hybrid Emissions Figures Mislead Consumers, T&E Warns
Original: Misleading Plug-in Hybrid Emissions Figures Risk Cheating Consumers, T&E Warns
The clean mobility group Transport & Environment is warning that official emissions figures for plug-in hybrid cars are misleading and risk cheating consumers. The group says the laboratory test values used to promote plug-in hybrids dramatically understate real-world pollution, meaning buyers may believe they are choosing a far greener vehicle than they actually get.
Why now: Transport & Environment has just published a warning that official plug-in hybrid emissions figures understate real-world pollution, drawing attention to potential consumer deception.
