Prime minister announces five-year delay to non-zero emission ban; listen to the Autocar Business podcast below
In response, shadow environment secretary Steve Reed said that Labour was committed to keeping the 2030 date for a ban on new petrol diesel cars – although did not specify if it would also allow some hybrids until 2035, as previously.
Ford UK chair Lisa Brankin said:"We need policy focus trained on bolstering the EV market in the short term and supporting consumers while headwinds are strong. Infrastructure remains immature, tariffs loom and cost of living is high." Sunak has previously hinted at changes to climate change-based policies that in his view"unfairly impact the public". In July, he said the UK would “make progress towards net zero” but “in a proportionate and pragmatic way” that “doesn’t unnecessarily give people more hassle and more costs in their lives”, adding: “That’s not what I’m interested in and prepared to do.”
