The European Court of Auditors (ECA) released an overview of its four recently published special reports, giving a stark warning to the EU about its current policies for decarbonising the transport sector (accounting for 25% of the overall CO2 emissions).

The former communist bloc’s car-making competency comes from a marriage of convenience between its indigenous engineering know-how, and the region’s gradual integration with Western European market...

Electric vehicles (EVs) that typically weigh more than internal combustion engine-powered cars can easily crash through steel guardrails on roads that are not designed to withstand the extra force. That's according to findings from crash test data released on Wednesday by the University of Nebraska in the US, which has raised concerns about EVs and roadside safety. EVs typically weigh 20 per cent to 50 per cent more than gas-powered vehicles thanks to batteries that can weigh almost as much as a small petrol or diesel-powered car. Sales of EVs are booming in Europe but are we equipped to tackl...
