Sustainable technology is leading the way There's a new spark of good news in the world of sustainable technology - and this time, it's about how long our vehicles are lasting. A recent study published in Nature Energy has found that electric vehicles (EVs) nearly match petrol cars in lifespan and comfortably outlive their diesel counterparts. On average, electric cars now last 18.4 years, compared to 18.7 years for petrol models and 16.8 years for diesels. For years, one of the quiet reservations surrounding EVs has been longevity - particularly the durability of their batteries. Would electric cars stand the test of time, or would early adopters…

Designing cities for the future: the changing cost of independence The way we move around our towns and cities is going to change dramatically over the next 20-25 years. Ageing populations, technology shifts, climate pressures and rising costs will reshape not only how we travel, but how our neighbourhoods function. For millions of people, mobility is more than a practical question - it is the foundation of independence, dignity and community life. For years, the sustainability debate has been dominated by discussions about vehicles: EVs, emissions standards, charging infrastructure, and the decline of the combustion engine. Yet the real transformation…

Richest look set to produce 13x more transport emissions by 2035

Photo Credit: Kyle Bushnell Calls for policies that tackle flying and private car use Transport emissions in the UK are not just an environmental issue - they are a question of fairness. A new report from the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) reveals a stark inequality: by 2035, under current government policies, the richest Britons will be producing 13 times more domestic transport emissions than the poorest. And, when international travel is included, the gap grows to 22 times. This isn't simply about carbon footprint - it's about who can access the benefits of mobility, and who bears the…
