Should the government implement stricter emissions standards for diesel vehicles?

Drivers should not be penalized when current public transportation is so unreliable that it can’t be trusted to get anywhere on time

It depends on if the area, if there is infrastructure that allows the reasonable usage of EVs, then combustion vehicles should have stricter emission standards

Depends. There should be more funding into the research for cleaner fuels. Taxing those who use diesel vehicles puts pressure on low income individuals. Trying to roll out more electric cars might be bad for the environment because of how much energy and emissions can come out of manufacturing them. We need to find more ways to decouple manufacturing costs and sustainability by finding cleaner solutions

Absolutely, I think a lot of cars like this should be disallowed from the road once they have a certain lack of efficiency in terms of emissions per 100km or something like that. But I'm a big supporter of "Deconstruction" instead of "Demolition", as such, we could just remove the inefficient engines rather than having the whole thing put in a crusher that wastes many valuable materials

When electric vehicles become more affordable and public transport is more available across the country

I think people should go with more environmentally friendly options but if unaffordable and they decide diesel car they shouldn't be penalized. More efforts to make cars affordable should be encouraged

The govt need to provide an alternative which is just as efficient as a car before they implement emissions. At the moment Electric cars are fine for short range travel however anyone doing mileage on motorways an EV is not practical for them.
