Should petrol and diesel cars be banned by 2035?
Should sales of new petrol and diesel cars end in 2035?
- Yes, or even sooner: we need a clear date
- Yes, but with more time and flexibility
- No: it's up to consumers to choose
What's at stake: No one disputes that car emissions must fall: the disagreement is about the pace, and who chooses the technology, the law or the market.
The left's argument
Transport emits a lot. A clear deadline gives carmakers visibility to plan ahead.
The centre's argument
Keep the goal, with more time and flexibility for households and for industry.
The right's argument
Imposing a single technology is risky: car prices, charging points, dependence on China.
