<p>The Prime Minister announced last week that we are consulting on bringing forward
the end to the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans to 2035, or earlier if
a faster transition appears feasible, as well as including hybrids for the first time.
We are consulting on the Committee on Climate Change recommendation that any new vehicles
sold after the phase out date must be zero emission at the tailpipe. We understand
the concerns of low volume manufacturers and we will be engaging with stakeholders
on a package of support allowing us to seize the opportunities and lead the world
in the shift to zero emission vehicles.</p><p> </p><p>As part of this consultation,
we are asking what the accompanying package of support will need to be to enable the
transition and minimise the impacts on businesses and consumers across the UK, building
on the significant demand and supply side measures already in place. The Government
will continue to work with all sectors of industry to accelerate the rollout of zero
emission vehicles - helping to deliver new green jobs in the UK.</p><p> </p>
