2021 has marked the end of leaded petrol worldwide, after it has contaminated air, dust, soil, drinking water and food crops for the better part of a century.

🚨The era of leaded petrol is over!🚨

This is a major victory for people and for planet, which will
✅ Prevent more than 1.2 million premature deaths

Afrika kent de meeste verkeersslachtoffers en het wagenpark groeit hard. Vandaag spraken Afrikaanse experts over verkeersveiligheid en schonere lucht. Ik presenteerde ons #ILT rapport over de handel in gebruikte voertuigen, die ook vanuit Europa op transport gaan.

"Global travel will triple by 2050 – we have to fight back, we must have electrification to lower emissions," says @LewMFulton presenting our exciting new targets for HGVs, transit buses and two + three wheelers at #ITF19, read them here https://t.co/eC0HmhmgEg

"We need to think about the real impact motorisation has on people's lives. 22 million people are displaced each year by climate change. It's an inter-generational justice issue; to ensure our children have a liveable and healthy world to inherit," says @FIAFDN's @saulbillingsley

[Global Fuel Economy Initiative - GFEI @GlobalFuelEcon]

"If we want to meet the Paris climate crisis targets, the current plans are too late; we cannot do without the modal shift and we must fast track new technology to have even a tiny chance of meeting our global commitments," says @UNEnvironment's @Rob_AQMobility at #ITF19

[Global Fuel Economy Initiative - GFEI @GlobalFuelEcon]

After 10 years, today we launch GFEI 2.0 to recommit to vehicle decarbonisation and to set new targets for the growing fleet of HGVs, transit buses , and two and three wheelers. Join us at 12.45 at #ITF19 @FIAFdn @TheICCT @UNEnvironment @ITS_UCDavis @ITF_Forum

#WorldAsthmaDay - Air pollution from vehicles results in 4 million child asthma cases a year, equivalent to 11,000 new cases every day.

Reducing emissions from diesel vehicles is a powerful tool for protecting our health and our children's. #BreatheLife https://t.co/zOAxJli0kZ
