Firstly, thanks to everyone who has contributed to the thread I started on the future of 4x4s and horseboxes.

I was fortunate enough to attend the lecture at the Institute of Mechanical Engineers that this paper is taken from (I used to be an engineer in the road transport industry). It was truly fascinating and made me feel good about things afterwards
EDIT: BTW, it comes with far more authority than Jeremy Clarkson or Friends of the Earth could ever have in this topic
