Greenpeace: Car manufacturers must go green faster
A climate ranking published today by Greenpeace East Asia gives many carmakers a poor grade. The majority of cars sold still have internal combustion engines. In addition, many automakers have made little progress in decarbonizing their supply chains and using resources more economically. None of the world's 15 largest car companies have "made adequate commitments to reduce emissions from production and materials," the environmental organization criticizes. The high steel consumption of the auto industry contributed significantly to emissions and is often neglected by companies.
