The UK is poised to enforce a ban on the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030, driven by Labour's manifesto. This policy will require all new vehicles, including cars and vans, to be fully electric by 2035. While the ban won’t affect second-hand petrol and diesel cars, it represents a significant shift in the automotive industry. Industry experts emphasize that the timing for drivers to transition to electric vehicles will vary based on personal circumstances and ownership duration of their current vehicles, aiming to provide clarity and confidence in the transition process.
The previous government caused significant harm to the industry by moving goalposts on phase-out dates, creating doubt in investors' minds and putting at risk billions of pounds.
No new petrol or diesel vehicles will be sold after 2030. All new cars and vans will need to be 100% zero emission by 2035.
The 2030 deadline will simply mean that no new petrol or diesel vehicles will be sold past this point.
The transition will depend on each driver's circumstances and factors such as how long they've had their current car.
