T&E Warns Discrepancy in PHEV Emissions Figures Harms Consumers

A new report from Transport & Environment (T&E) highlights a growing disparity between official and real-world emissions data for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). This gap not only misrepresents their environmental impact but also leads to higher fuel costs for drivers, potentially costing them hundreds of euros annually. T&E is urging regulators to update CO2 accounting rules to reflect actual usage and prevent consumers from being misled.
