54% of cars sold in 2024 were SUVs, including petrol, diesel, hybrids and electric makes.
This is an increase of three percentage points from 2023 and five from the year before .
Of the SUVs which are now on the road both new and older models 95% are burning fossil fuels.
Manufacturers say their new fleets of such cars are increasingly becoming electric.
Only around 30% of the total distance driven by plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (all types including SUVs) was in electric mode on average.
Similar results were found in other major economies such as the US and China .
Overall, the back-gear towards SUVs has caused a significant setback in the decarbonisation of transport sector.
