EU NGO Proposes 15L Cap on Plug-in Hybrid Fuel Tanks to Cut Real-World Emissions

Transport & Environment proposes capping plug-in hybrid fuel tanks at 15 liters to force more frequent charging, citing evidence that real-world CO2 emissions far exceed manufacturer claims. The proposal targets a regulatory loophole where hybrids are driven mostly on petrol, undermining EU climate goals. If adopted, it would reshape hybrid vehicle design and fuel demand, though it remains a proposal with uncertain regulatory uptake.
