Chief Technology Officer for Stellantis, Ned Curic, has expressed frustration over the excessive weight of new vehicles. In an interview with Automotive News Europe, the CTO said he believes vehicle weight is one of the biggest challenges currently facing the industry.
"It's frustrating for me how heavy cars have become," said the CTO, adding, "It's not good for the environment, it's not good for resources, it's not good for efficiency."
