Curb Sales of SUVs: Mitigating Health and Environmental Harms
Once a specialized option for offroad driving, Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) have evolved into a dominant force in the global automotive market. Their rise has been nothing short of remarkable: globally, SUVs now account for half of all new car sales, a stark jump from just 15% in 2010. The UK market reflects this trend even more acutely, with SUVs making up 63% of new car sales in 2024 compared to a mere 12% over a decade earlier. This proliferation is not an isolated phenomenon but part of a broader "carspreading" trend, where vehicles have steadily grown larger in dimensions—taller, wider, and heavier—over time. As Dr. Anthony Laverty and his colleagues highlight in The BMJ’s climate issue, this expansion brings with it significant, yet often overlooked, risks to public health and the environment, demanding urgent action at local, national, and international levels.
