The United Kingdom is significantly speeding up the ban on cars with internal combustion engines. And they don’t even have plug-in hybrids plugged in.

In 2017, the UK government announced a strategy to ban internal combustion engines from 2040. But now it has decided to speed up the process, you will not buy a new car with a petrol and diesel engine in a passenger car and light commercial vehicle from 2030. Surprisingly, this applies and so-called full-hybrids.
A kind of bridge in the transition from internal combustion engines to electric cars have recently been plug-in hybrids – cars with a range of several tens of kilometers on electricity, but which still have an internal combustion engine and are not limited to longer routes. But even you do not have a very bright future in the UK. Sales of such new cars are to be cut only five years later, in 2035.

From this year on, you will not buy a new car on the British market other than the one with a purely electric drive, or hydrogen cars. Fortunately, strict strict decisions do not yet apply to the used car market. There, despite the decisions, it will continue to be possible to trade in purely combustion and hybrid cars.
To facilitate the transition from classic cars to electric cars, it invests £ 1.3 billion in the construction of public chargers (over £ 38 billion), another £ 100 million will be spent on various benefits for the purchase of electric cars, battery development and mass production, part of the money also for power plants.

“Although this year has taken a different path than we expected, I have not abandoned our ambitious plans for the whole country. My new plan will support and protect hundreds of thousands of green jobs and from 2050 will be a step towards net (emission) zero, Prime Minister Boris Johnson was heard.
In November 2020, electric and plug-in hybrid cars accounted for 12.1% of new registrations in Britain. However, manufacturers are not satisfied with the decision, after all, they did not like the original deadline in 2040. They state that the current demand for still quite expensive technologies represents only a fraction of sales and speeding up the process will not help the car market.

Michael Gove was the first then Minister of the Environment to ban petrol and diesel cars in 2017. At that time, the year 2040 was set, from which you will not buy any internal combustion engine in a new car. At the beginning of the year, however, negotiations began on speeding up these plans. First in 2035, then even in 2030. According to the current government, both terms are considered “feasible”.
However, the United Kingdom is not the only country to support various bans and restrictions on internal combustion engines. Other European countries are preparing something similar. Some are widespread, others focus mainly on their largest metropolises. You can see a list of upcoming restrictions across countries below on your Facebook page published by RNews.cz magazine:
- Norway: from 2025 you will only register the electric vehicle
- France: from 2024 a ban on diesel entry into Paris. From 2030 a ban on all internal combustion engines in Paris. from 2040 you will only register an electric car in France
- Great Britain: from 2030 no entry of all internal combustion engines into London. From 2030 you will only register an electric vehicle
- The Netherlands: from 2030 you will only register the electric vehicle
- Sweden: from 2030 you will only register the electric vehicle
- Germany: date of registration of exclusively electric cars in negotiation
- Slovenia: from 2030 you will only register a car with emissions of less than 50g CO2
- Spain: from 2030 no entry of all internal combustion engines into Barcelona
- Denmark: from 2030 ban on entry of all internal combustion engines into Copenhagen
