<p>The Government has no plans to ban advertising of high polluting vehicles. However,
the Government is going further and faster to decarbonise transport by phasing out
the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030, and, from 2035, all new cars
and vans must be zero emission at the tailpipe. Coupled with the new phase out dates
we have pledged a further £2.8 billion package of measures to support industry and
consumers to make the switch to cleaner vehicles.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The
point-of-sale environmental label for new cars has recently been redesigned to present
vehicle-specific environmental information in a clear, easy to understand and highly
visible way. This ensures that consumers are provided with the right information at
the right time to make informed purchasing decisions. A new ‘running costs’ section
helps to emphasise the savings possible from electric and the most fuel-efficient
cars. In addition, the Vehicle Certification Agency hosts a variety of tools that
inform consumers of emissions data for new and used cars.</p>
