    AFAIK yes, that’s the loophole. If a vehicle is heavy enough then the law assumes it must be for “work” and thus some pollution laws don’t apply.

    Car manufacturers noticed this and thus the massive “Sports” “Utility” Vehicle was born.

      The solution then is to remove that loophole, by keeping the pollution laws applied there. And those who actually used such vehicles for work? Yeah, sucks, but they should complain at those car manufacturers.

      Or alternatively, we classify them as trucks instead of as cars.
