Passenger cars are by far the biggest source of transportation emissions in the UK, accounting for 55 percent of the total this sector produced in 2019. Freight vehicles are the second most polluting vehicles, with HGVs and LDVs representing a combined 32 percent. In previous years the energy supply sector was the main source of emissions in the UK, but the transportation sector now produces more greenhouse gases than any other.
