Lockdown saw historic drops in global emissions in every sector,
except one: sports utility vehicles, or SUVs. They are among the
best-selling cars in markets around the world, from India to
China, South Africa and Germany. But these vehicles pollute much
more than a normal sized car, and require more fuel to move and
energy to make. Seen as a status symbol and wrongly thought of as
safer than other cars, what can we do to wean ourselves off this
polluting vehicle?

Featuring World Service India reporter Arunoday Mukhardji; New
York Times Shanghai editor Keith Bradsher, author of High and
Mighty: The Dangerous Rise of the SUV; Jillian Anable, Professor
of Transport and Energy at the Institute for Transport Studies,
University of Leeds; and Jim Holder, editorial director,
Haymarket Automotive.
