.AMERICANS adore to super-size-- and also not simply their junk food. They favour large sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) and also pickup over small vehicles. Some 8.7 m hit the road in 2023, accounting for majority of all purchases of brand new automobiles, depending on to JATO Aspect, an investigation agency. Although European autos are also growing, American ones still possess a relaxed top: in 2022 the average car offered in United States evaluated 1,857 kg, virtually twenty% much more than the average in Europe. Wide roads and also big parking spaces accommodate this desire for hefty rides-- therefore does the law. But a way out that for almost 50 years has incentivised sales of major vehicles are going to quickly be tightened. Will that lead Americans to purchase much smaller autos?
