.AMERICANS really love to super-size– and not only their fast food. They favour big sport-utility cars (SUVs) as well as pickup trucks over little cars and trucks. Some 8.7 m hit the trail in 2023, representing more than half of all sales of new motor vehicles, depending on to JATO Aspect, a study agency.
Although International autos are actually also getting bigger, American ones still have a relaxed top: in 2022 the normal cars and truck marketed in America weighed 1,857 kilograms, just about twenty% much more than the standard in Europe. Wide roadways and also significant garage satisfy this desire for substantial adventures– and so carries out the rule. Yet a technicality that for almost half a century has actually incentivised sales of big lorries will definitely very soon be firmed up.
Will that lead Americans to purchase smaller sized cars and trucks?
