True, the deadlines are more lenient: according to the adopted plan, the UK plans to ban the sale of diesel and petrol trucks no later than 2040. Thus, from 2035, in Foggy Albion it will be impossible to buy a truck or van running on fossil fuel weighing from 3.5 to 26 tons. And by the end of the decade, the ban will extend to all trucks, including long-haul tractors.
It is worth noting that by 2050 the UK intends to achieve zero carbon dioxide emissions. The European Union has a similar goal, so literally yesterday, on July 15, the European Commission announced that in EU countries sales of fuel-powered cars will be banned from 2035. A similar deadline for phasing out petrol and diesel cars was also announced in July by Canada.
It is worth noting that in addition to the above countries, Singapore, Japan, and the American state of California intend to completely ban sales of "internal combustion engine vehicles," and China and India partially.
