In today's news "No-one could accuse the car industry of rushing to solve air pollution.

Manufacturers have long been accused of dragging their heels over plans to tighten the legal emissions test.

And for years, they happily sold cars that they knew were far more polluting on real roads than in the official lab test."--- Do not believe everything you read in the newspapers. What have companies such as TRK been doing for ages?

Germany is unlikely to commit to ending production of combustion-engine vehicles any time soon, our correspondent says.

France and the UK plan to ban sales of conventional fossil-fuel vehicles from 2040.

But switching to a future of electric vehicles will be hugely expensive - not least because of the need for charging points everywhere.

Government set out plans to fund measures to cut pollution with a tax on new diesel vehicles, with an aim to end the sale of all conventional petrol and diesel cars by 2040. ------ "CONVENTIONAL"?

Essentially the packaging is carried over from Volvo's plug-in hybrid although some of the componentry is visible in the boot; future platforms will be package protected for both plug-in and KERS installations. "We don't know what the take-up will be, but we envisage that customers will be able to decide when ordering their car which hybrid technology they want and it will simply be installed on the line," said Matthias Jorgensson, Volvo's technical leader for Propulsive Drive.
