The British Prime Minister's office, Boris Johnson, made a statement saying that the UK plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by banning the sale of new diesel and gasoline vehicles by 2035, which would be a full five years away. earlier than the previously announced 2040 deadline.

In an effort to minimize air pollution by 2050, British authorities are expected to add hybrid cars to this ban list because of fears that their electricity will only be used for short distances before using diesel and diesel power. gasoline engines.

The change comes after experts said the year 2040 would be too late if the UK wanted to achieve its goal of virtually zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, the BBC reports.

Boris Johnson will outline government policy later this year at a UN climate meeting in November. He will point out that the summit is a chance to "strengthen" the defense of the planet.

The summit, known as COP26, will be held in Glasgow. This is the annual UN meeting to assess the progress made in combating climate change.
At this upcoming event, Mr Johnson is expected to say that the ban on the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars could even come into force earlier than 2035, if that is possible.

The proposals, which were originally announced in July 2017, also include a forthcoming ban on sales of hybrid vehicles.

Once this ban comes into force, British citizens will only be able to buy electric or hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and vans.
