Prime Minister Rishi Sunak resets net zero policy with \u2018new pragmatic approach\u2019 that allows the sale of petrol and diesel cars for another 5 years.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars has been postponed to 2035 with the announcement made in a speech by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The PM stated that he remains committed to all the UK\u2019s net zero targets, but says he believes the UK will meet them without the imposition of onerous targets and unnecessary additional costs on consumers. The new 2035 date for the petrol and diesel new car sales ban aligns with bans in other major global markets in Europe and the EU.<\/p>\n

The UK Government\u2019s formerly more ambitious plan to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 – five years before the similar ban is due to take effect across Europe – was introduced by Boris Johnson in 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n
