Kruti measures! From 2040, only electric cars and vans will be sold in the UK

The radical move the UK will join in France is expected to be officially announced later today. It will be part of a £ 3bn plan that the British government will fight for air pollution. He also responds to election promises, something that is absolutely unknown in our latitudes. It is also expected to propose a scheme to buy old diesel cars, but ratification will be a top-level consultation process. In 2017, about 4% of the new cars sold were plug-in hybrids or 100% electric vehicles. Chargemaster's current predictions suggest that in the UK, for the first time, a million plug-in hybrids or an electric car will be sold in the UK for the first time, with electrified vehicles accounting for 10% of total new car sales.

There are currently about 40 million cars on the UK roads. The plan provides for an additional £ 255 million to tackle city-level pollution. Potential ways to tackle this problem locally are introducing additional charges for the most polluting cars. Money will also be granted for the additional installation of cleaning systems on public transport buses. Calculations show that dirty air is responsible for about 40,000 premature deaths per year in the UK. The government spokesman commented: "Dirty air is the biggest environmental risk to public health in the UK and this government is determined to take bold moves in the shortest time."
