Multinational carmaker Stellantis, owner of brands including Vauxhall, Citroen, and Peugeot, could halt car production in the UK unless the state budges on its current EV quotas. "Stellantis UK does not stop. Stellantis production in the UK could stop," said Maria Grazia Davino, the firm's UK managing director. Speaking at the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders' annual summit in London earlier this week, Davino said a decision would be made in "less than a year". The UK's emissions targets require UK car manufacturers to sell a minimum percentage of fully electric cars, amounting this ...

Youth climate activists have won a "historic" settlement in Hawaii. The lawsuit was the world's first youth-led constitutional climate case seeking to address climate pollution from the transportation sector. It alleged that the US state violated the constitution by operating a transport system that harmed the climate and infringed upon the children's right to a clean and healthy environment. The activists asked the state government to take action and shift to a climate-safe, zero-emissions transportation system. Hawaii's governor and lawyers for the youth plaintiffs announced that the case wa...

Of all the decisions Paris Olympics organisers made about where to hold each sport, sending surfing competitions to the other side of the world - in the Pacific waters of Tahiti - provoked the strongest reactions. Tahitians and others railed against the building of a new viewing tower on Teahupo’o reef because of fears it would hurt marine life. But organisers say it wasn’t just the world-class waves that lured them to the French territory 16,000 kilometers away. Paris Olympic officials had set an ambitious target of halving their overall carbon footprint compared with the 2012 London and 2016...

The idea is that an employee is signed up in a salary sacrifice scheme to allow them to lease an electric car through the company.

In several cases, a company's green values and benefits can be the deciding factor in whether or not a job applicant takes the offer. Gre...

There is an alarming gap between the current charging infrastructure and that of necessary to reach the climate targets of Europe by 2030, according to a study by the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA). Electric cars sales have sped up in the past years, increasing 18-fold between 2017 and 2023 and three times faster than charging point installation in the same period, said the ACEA report. However, installing charging stations has to speed up if the EU wants to meet its climate targets, says the ACEA. "We need mass-market adoption of electric cars in all EU countries to ach...

As some classic car enthusiasts opt for greener and cheaper choices, converting classic cars to electric is becoming increasingly common. At a car show in Birmingham, UK, a Gordon-Keeble boasts an electric motor under the bonnet. Only 99 Gordon-Keebles were built, so it's already a rare sight but this unique model is the only electric version in existence. "I'm not a great lover of electric cars, to be perfectly honest. But this one had a new lease of life because it had an electric motor put into it. I don't think it really wouldn't have been out and being used if it hadn't have had that happ...
