More SUVs means more pollution, more safety risks, and more road wear. The data shows:
- SUV causes 16 times more road damage than a one-tonne car
- SUVs consume around 20% more fuel than an average medium-size non-SUV car
- Pedestrian fatality risks increase by 82% for children and 44% for adults
- SUV causes 16 times more road damage than a one-tonne car
- SUVs consume around 20% more fuel than an average medium-size non-SUV car
- Pedestrian fatality risks increase by 82% for children and 44% for adults

🚘 Join T&E UK tomorrow at the ‘Houses of Carliament’ from 11am to 3pm at Old Palace Yard, Westminster 🚘
We'll explore the issue of increasing vehicle size - by displaying 3 contrasting vehicles outside Parliament. We'll also show how a Large Vehicle Levy can raise 2 billion for public services 💰
