" Massive car maker says it sees petrol vehicles being on our roads until 2050 "

" While the Government - for now - remains staunch on its commitment to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030.
In March, the European Commission said it would allow sales of new cars with internal combustion engines to continue if they run exclusively on climate neutral e-fuels.
When we contacted the Department for Transport around the time of the announcement, it said: 'We remain committed to phasing out the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030, with all new cars and vans being zero emission at the tailpipe by 2035.'
However, it went on to suggest that e-fuels are proven by industry to be 'zero-emission at the tailpipe' they would likely adhere to the mandate set out by ministers.

This means they would technically keep combustion engine cars in showrooms beyond the middle of the next decade.
However, the EU has set a different deadline of 2035, though earlier this year announced a surprise stipulation that could see ICE vehicles remain on sale longer. "



if they're stopping sales of ICE vehicles by 2030 why the " all new cars and vans being zero emission at the tailpipe by 2035.' " total contradiction ?? :unsure::unsure::unsure:

Because they are realising that ICE engines are still the future, electric cars are more environmentally damaging in the long term, note I said environmentally not climate, because that's where the big con is, ICE is the future just without carbon fuels.

It was never going to happen in reality and perhaps it’s starting to dawn on a few people in power, just a total lack of joined up thinking as usual.
Must be a total nightmare for Manufacturers and companies potentially involved with new infrastructure.

I looked into a gas Iveco daily thinking the 4.25 gross might give a handy payload advantage :sneaky:.
But the extra regs, cost and lack of refuelling made it a no go.
I think it was talked about it on here:unsure:
LPG or CNG?

Reading the news this morning. Lots of companies stopping insuring electric cars and ones that still will are increasing premuims hugely. This will be the end of electric cars if you can't afford to insure them.
If petrol and diesel are banned as planned only the rich will have private transport, or am I being a conspiracy nut?

Must be the value that attracts, can't see them being any easier than anything else to nick ..?
Anyone heard of a Tesla getting nicked?

One of the Defender models had a similar problem. If you prized out one of the headlights you could snip a wire that disabled the alarm and opened the doors. Someone tried it on one of mine, but it was the wrong model. Did over a £1000 worth of damage and still didn't get away with it. Amazingly the hotel CCTV had been turned off in that part of the car park and the night porter saw nothing!
