As EU hauliers face soaring diesel prices, our new analysis shows that electric trucks are cheaper to operate than diesel for almost half of trucks sold in the EU. Electrification remains the only realistic option to protect against future oil crises. More from our new TCO calculator 👇

New data from @eea.europa.eu shows PHEVs emit on average SIX times what official tests claim: 145g CO2/km vs. 24g CO2/km. And the gap is widening each year. This comes as the car lobby is demanding that the EU scrap rules that would better reflect PHEV pollution. Our analysis: bit.ly/4yq1d7t

In seven EU countries, aviation’s climate impact – considering both CO2 and non-CO2 effects – is now higher than cars. The growth in aviation emissions threatens to cancel out gains made elsewhere by EV uptake and jeopardise Europe’s successes. Check out the state of EU aviation ➡️ bit.ly/4bNNbD0

Europe is behind China in the EV race, but the industry narrative that we must weaken the EU car CO2 targets to compete is fundamentally wrong. The targets are what keep Europe in the race to be global leaders in battery electric cars. Now is the time to power up! Our report 👉 bit.ly/4yjPFDg

Want to legally challenge airport expansion? ⚖️ Our new toolkit with @opportunitygreen.org maps potential routes in the EU on air quality, biodiversity, climate, and noise - plus examples and resources. Another tool for the fight for #RedLinesForAirports 🙌 ➡️ stay-grounded.org/project/tool...
Toolkit: Legal avenues to challenge airport expansionWhat is included?

▶ How measures like caps or other reductions in airport capacity can be introduced under current EU legislation to inform campaigns for such caps.

▶ Potential legal avenues to challenge new airports andairport expansions.

▶ Provides several case studies from the UK to the Netherlands or Belgium.

This toolkit focuses on EU law. drawing out the most promising routes and avenues for legal campaigns and challenges under the framework.

Fewer than half of new cars in the UK can fit into a conventional parking space. Meanwhile, drivers of massive SUVs can pay up to 20x less tax than in other European countries. Here's how the UK government can take to start reclaiming the road for pedestrians and cyclists 👉

Cars are growing bigger every year, creating an increasingly dangerous environment for road users. If this trend continues, an additional 2,500 adults and 79 children could die on Europe’s roads by 2040, compared to a scenario where new car sizes return to 2015 levels. New report ➡️ bit.ly/3SRno6P

High oil prices are leading governments to scramble to get hold of biofuel feedstocks. This is a dangerous game. Food prices are already high, and vegetable oil prices have reached their highest level since July 2022. Governments around the world must avoid trading a fuel crisis for a food crisis.

Ryanair was once again the most polluting airline in 2025 as European aviation emissions reached an all-time high. But due to significant loopholes in the EU carbon market, legacy carriers paid for just a fraction of their pollution compared to short-haul airlines. Our analysis 👉 bit.ly/3RnHpRK

NEW: 34 Northvolt-sized battery factories could be lost if the EU scales back EV targets. Europe risks forfeiting a major industrial opportunity. Scaling back the EU car CO2 rules in line with the industry’s demands could see electric car production halved in 2030 compared to today’s projections. 🧵

Some air passengers are paying for the carbon emitting during their flight… while others are not. How is that fair? It’s time to extend the ETS to ALL flights departing from Europe, and finally make all flights fund a greener future. Check out our latest analysis 👉 bit.ly/3RnHpRK
