Suzuki and other Japanese brands including Toyota fared badly in study analyzing automakers efforts to shift to electric power, while German firms scored highly
Suzuki had been slammed for its pitiful efforts to reduce vehicle emissions in a new study by Greenpeace that’s tough reading for executives at all of the big Japanese automakers. The annual Greenpeace East Asia investigation ranks the world’s car brands according to their progress in phasing out combustion engines and decarbonizing supply chains, and this year’s study ranked Suzuki dead last in large part thanks to the complete absence of electric vehicles in its lineup.
Greenpeace noted that fewer than one in 400 cars sold by Toyota in 2022 was an EV, but it also marked down China’s SAIC, despite 30 percent of the firms sales being EVs, because it’s dragging its heels on decarbonizing its supply chain.
