While emission regulations become more restrictive and the threat of penalties loom, automotive manufacturers struggle to improve vehicle performance. An increased use of lightweight materials may help.

This is an interesting article, since we have been looking at emissions reductions in the past. We see that heavier cars generate higher emissions than lighter cars. However, from my perspective.We should not only take into account the light material but also other factors, such as the burning of fuel, in Germany, for the reduction of carbon emissions, invest in electric cars so that in 2050 it will cease emissions.
Staying at to 16 grams of CO per kilometer.

This is a very interesting and important topic for the future!

But when considering the reduction of the carbon footprint, only looking at the vehicle, its material and consumption is not enough. Having an overview over all 3 scopes of emissions is important to really monitor all emissions happening during the process of the manufacturing.

In theory these measurements are pretty simple but applying them on the real world is quite complex and difficult.

Maybe one of you has some expertise on this topic!

This article is interesting because we've looked at reducing emissions before. Heavier cars emit more than lighter ones.

I enjoyed reading this blog, however I was wondering if you could elaborate a little bit more on the tunnel rush subject. I'd be really appreciative if you could elaborate a little bit more on it.
