By 2035, the British government will ban the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles, which five years earlier than originally announced in 2040.
British Prime Minister Boris middot; Johnson (Boris Johnson) participated in the initial activities of the United Nations Convention on Climate Change on Wednesday (April 4th) held in London, in order to clarify the matter, and said he would collect opinions through to finalize the plan.
He said that if necessary, he will accelerate the ban on gasoline and diesel vehicles. In addition, within the plug-in hybrid is also planned range. If the policy is finalized, the UK will only be allowed from 2035 to start selling electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel vehicles.
The UK is committed to the first carbon neutral country in the Group of Seven in 2050.
He said: “There is no more important responsibility than to protect the Earth did not make Britain proud mission.”
British Minister of Transport Grant middot; Hicks (Grant Hicks) said: ” last year sold every 15 minutes an electric car, but we hope to continue to expand its scale. “
last year, Britain’s electric car sales totaled 378 , 00, an increase of 144%. However, sales of electric cars accounted for only 1.6%. Since the market is still not mainstream, the sound on the prohibition of sale of internal combustion engine vehicles uneven.
However, according to BBC reports, the British Association of Automobile Manufacturers (SMMT) expressed pessimism on Johnson’s environmental policy position, SMMT, said: “I hope the government’s plan is a policy to protect industry and employment.”
regardless of England off to Europe, or proposed to prohibit the sale of fuel vehicles by 2035, Britain recently enacted many policy, always giving the impression of an enemy of the entire world. Europe off the damage caused to Britain goes without saying that the UK economy, tourism, automobile industry have brought a bad influence. The 2035 ban fuel vehicles, appears to be a goodAs a result, but in my opinion, the British want to use this method, the transfer of social conflicts, so that citizens and the media focus off from the UK to Europe, transferred to other topics come up. As the current British electric car sales accounted for only 1.6 percent of the whole sales, so in order to achieve this goal, the UK still has a long road.
