The transition in Europe from diesel vehicles to alternatives started in 2016, before the arrival of the EVs; when it became increasingly clear to the consumer that there were health risks associated with carcinogens and particulate matter – without, we should add, any EU or national government mandate.

Remarkable turnaround, given that a decade ago, diesel cars were a dominant powerplant in Europe.
