NEW: Car manufacturers want to hide the truth about their dirty diesel emissions. Along with MPs, over 50 major charities & organisations and hundreds of individuals, we demand court documents are made public. #Dieselgate #AirPollution

Our analysis shows a shocking number of the most polluting diesel cars are still on UK roads, 10 years after #Dieselgate.
Of the 10.7m diesel cars still on our roads, 7.5m are Euro 5&6 models (many implicated in Dieselgate) emitting 51,400 tonnes of excess NOx annually above legal emission limits.
Those 7.5m diesel Euro 5/6s make up nearly a quarter of cars on UK roads. Yet they’re responsible for almost 30% of ALL NOx emissions from road transport, incl that from vans & HGVs.
We need car manufacturers to pay for the excess emissions we’re still breathing. #ExposeDieselCheats #AirPollution
Huge thanks to all who supported this analysis & action - incl the hundreds that signed the open letter & everyone who came to the High Court. @alexbigham.bsky.social @ellarobertafdn.bsky.social @asthmaandlung.org.uk @ukhealthclimate.bsky.social @microlambert.bsky.social
