With the countries of the Paris Agreement carrying out their own projects to reduce carbon emissions, the complexity of solving the transfer from fossil fuel to renewable energy is continuing to occupy government and industry alike. Looking only at the automotive industry, one can be excused for thinking that here are a large number of stakeholders, interconnected companies with their own links to external suppliers and consumers - all of whom will be affected in some way by the inevitable decisions of governments to regulate, and even discontinue, road vehicles which are harmful to the environment.
