Cars: Sales
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to review the 2030 deadline for the ban on new petrol and diesel cars, in the context of (a) existing infrastructure readiness and (b) domestic manufacturing capacity.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
We are fully committed to phasing out the sale of new cars powered solely by internal combustion engines from 2030, providing leadership and investment clarity to support the rollout of charging infrastructure.
We have committed £2 billion of funding to 2030 to support the automotive industry as we accelerate to zero emission vehicles. This will support R&D and the commercial scale up of innovative zero emission vehicle technologies, unlocking capital investment in zero emission vehicles, batteries and the wider supply chain.
