Data shows PHEVs emit just 19% less CO2 than petrol and diesel cars, an analysis by the non-profit advocacy group Transport and Environment found on Thursday. Under laboratory tests, they were assumed to be 75% less polluting.

    Still less polluting than petrol and diesel, so that’s good. They also don’t exhaust fine dust as much, which helps health.

    That said, the ideal would be an approach of STOP priority in designing roads and cities:

    1. Strollers (pedestrians)
    2. Twowheelers (bicycles)
    3. Open transit (public; buses, trains, trams…)
    4. Pickups (cars, lorries, etc.)

      Can you elaborate on the don’t exhaust fine dust part? The combustion engine part of the hybrid will still have those particulates?
