• Britain said it will outlaw the sale of new diesel and petrol cars and vans from 2040, to control global warming. The Conservatives had a manifesto promise to ensure that by 2050 there would be no diesel or petrol vehicles on the road. To ensure the same, no new diesel or petrol vehicles will be sold from 2040.
• This restriction is proposed to reduce emission of Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the environment to reduce and control global warming.
• The ban on petrol and diesel cars, as well as vans follows a similar proposal by the French government, and will also include ‘hybrid’ vehicles that have an electric motor and a petrol or diesel engine.
