Ban on new petrol and diesel cars in UK from 2030 under PM’s green plan – BBC News

The UK Prime Minister has announced ambitious plans to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles:

New cars and vans powered wholly by petrol and diesel will not be sold in the UK from 2030, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said.

But some hybrids would still be allowed, he confirmed.

It is part of what Mr Johnson calls a “green industrial revolution” to tackle climate change and create jobs in industries such as nuclear energy.
