In the UK. With that comes much more fuel efficent cars, although there has been a worringly large increase in the number of SUV's in the last few years. I suspect but don't know without researching it, that the SUV's sold here are probably more efficent than the ones sold in the US.
I do have a question for you though. If the technology is already here, and more efficent cars (and smaller ones) are used in Europe etc, isn't it a case of consumer choice/pressure being needed to change things rather than innovation on its own?
