IEA: It's time for the auto industry to reduce car size

  • 2023-03-03

The International Energy Agency (IEA) said it was time for the auto industry to reduce the size of its vehicles. The world's 330 million sport utility vehicles (SUVs) emitted nearly 1 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2022, more than Germany's annual emissions.

The IEA pointed out that although traditional car sales slowed in 2022 and SUV sales decreased by about 1 million units, global SUV oil demand still increased by about 500,000 barrels per day, accounting for one-third of the total increase in global oil demand, because SUVs consume 20% more gasoline than ordinary mid-size cars.

Meanwhile, electric vehicle sales are expected to reach a record high of over 10 million in 2022. This includes both electric SUVs and electric non-SUVs. The IEA notes that electric SUVs require larger batteries than smaller electric vehicles, and the growing electric SUV market will put additional pressure on the battery supply chain and further increase demand for related mineral raw materials.

In summary, the International Energy Agency calls on governments and automakers to "reduce the average size of cars", "increase charging stations" and "invest in innovative battery technologies."
