Labour's Change of Heart on Hybrid Cars
In a surprising move, the Labour party has announced that petrol and diesel cars will not face a total ban by 2030. Instead, hybrid vehicles will enjoy an extended shelf life, remaining on sale in the UK until 2035.
Implications for Drivers and the Market
- Drivers can continue using existing petrol and diesel vehicles.
- New hybrid sales will remain viable during this transition period.
- The decision is expected to impact market strategies for manufacturers.
The government’s shift on automotive policy might encourage more drivers to consider hybrids as alternatives in the coming years, rather than transitioning to electric vehicles immediately.
