0:59Now PlayingUnited Kingdom Prime Minister Rishi Sunak confirms that he’s delaying plans to ban the sale of new fossil fuelled cars to 2035 - pushing back the current target by 5 years. He speaks in London.
Sunak diluted key parts of his UK government’s green agenda, including pushing back a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by five years to 2035, as he set out what he called a “new approach” to tackling climate change.
“At least for now it should be you, the consumer, who makes that choice, not the government forcing you to do it it,” Sunak said in a speech in Downing Street Wednesday. He said he expects the vast majority of vehicles sold in the UK to be electric by 2030 without government intervention, due to falling costs.
