Original: Plug-in hybrids aren't as clean as carmakers claim, new data shows

New data indicates plug-in hybrid vehicles emit far more in real-world driving than carmakers' official figures suggest, challenging their reputation as a clean bridge technology between petrol and fully electric cars. The findings add fuel to a growing debate in Europe and elsewhere over whether plug-in hybrids deserve favorable treatment in emissions rules and green incentives.
