Time is ahead of schedule again! Britain may ban fuel vehicles in 2030.

[car home? Industry] According to a recent report in the Financial Times, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will deliver a speech this week in the UK local time, expounding his vision for new energy sources and announcing that "the sale of traditional fossil fuel vehicles may be banned in the UK from 2030".

The report quoted relevant sources as saying that the plan to ban the sale of gasoline and diesel vehicles will be realized in 2030, and the British government will also give plug-in hybrid vehicles a grace period, which is expected to be by 2035. This also means that the plan to ban the sale of fuel vehicles in Britain will be advanced again.

As early as February this year, British Transport Secretary Grant? Shapus (Grant? Shapps) recently said that Britain plans to implement a ban on the sale of fuel vehicles as early as 2032, expanding the scope from the original gasoline-powered and diesel-powered vehicles to hybrid vehicles for the first time. This move has attracted opposition from many associations and enterprises including SMMT and RAC.

At the same time, international car companies are dissatisfied with this policy. Honda's British branch said that "15' s total ban on fuel vehicles was too hasty" and that some technical and resource obstacles could not be overcome in the short term. Torsten Muller Otvos, CEO of Rolls-Royce, admitted that Rolls-Royce's offensive in the field of electric vehicles was mainly driven by "global market regulations" rather than environmental protection.

So far, many European countries have announced the timetable for banning the sale of fuel vehicles. Norway plans to ban the sale of new fuel vehicles from 2025, Denmark, Iceland, Ireland and other countries plan to ban the sale of new fuel vehicles after 2030, and France is scheduled to ban it in 2040.

At the same time, Reuters also said that Boris Johnson's move marks a major change in the British auto market. Boris Johnson plans to invest 500 million pounds to build new energy vehicle infrastructure, including power grids and fast charging piles, starting next year.
