An environmental crusade in the UK is calling for a ban on SUV advertising, saying the effect of the climate will replace while making streets less congested and safer for pedestrians.
“Badvertising,” an initiative of the New Weather Institute and Possible, a weather charity, said advertising giant passenger cars and the “dirtiest third” of new cars stop.
The marketing device for Land Rover Discovery Sport focuses on off-road capabilities.
The report suggests that “the parallels between smoking and advertising of weather-damaging activities, such as the behavior of gasoline consumers, are, if accurate, strangely close.” Just as Phillip Morris’ “Marlboro Man” used physically powerful external photographs to sell cigarettes, most likely smoking in densely populated areas, Badvertising suggests that four-wheel drive vehicles sold as adventurers’ escape cars are more likely to locate themselves running in school.
Owners of the new Lamborghini Urus SUV are unlikely to benefit from their off-road prowess.
Robbie Gillett, a Possible activist, said competitive SUV marketing opposes efforts to combat climate change.
“Your misleading ads promise freedom and escape; however, the truth of urban roads is traffic jams, poisonous air pollutants and rising carbon emissions from road transport that will undermine our climate targets,” he said.
“We create a breathing space and a space to think, the advertising pressures of the big polluters.”
Ford’s Everest is more likely to be noticed at the crossroads of a school than at a river.
Andrew Sims, co-director of the New Weather Institute, said that “promoting larger, more polluting SUVs is like expanding pollution, and we want to stop it.”
“In a climate emergency, when we want the places where we are most welcoming, SUVs stand in the way of progress,” he said.
Tobacco ads were banned in Australia in 1976, followed by all other tobacco announcements in 1992. Badvertising recommends a technique for giant vehicles, especially SUVs.
The report sparked a debate in the British media. Representatives of the automotive industry told the BBC that SUVs are more effective than ever and that hybrid and electric features are more commonly adjusted. A marketing expert said an advertising ban would replace shopper behavior.
Passengers such as sedans and sedans sell more than SUVs in Australia.

The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries has introduced a voluntary code for carbon emissions at an average of 4% consistent with the year until 2030. Data from the National Transport Commission show that passenger and SUV emissions were reduced by 0.3% last year, while car car advertising broadcasts (such as the Toyota HiLux) higher to 0.7 consistent with percent.
