Hybrids such as Mitsubishi’s Outlander PHEV could be phased out by 2035
Industry warns over green plans
Rapid change will be a huge challenge, NCC claims
GOVERNMENT PLANS TO accelerate the introduction of electric vehicles by banning sales of new diesel and petrol engines by 2030 could have a serious impact on the caravanning industry, the NCC is warning.
The plan to raise the pace of change was confirmed in the Government’s ‘Ten point plan for a green industrial revolution’. Sales of hybrid powertrains are to end in 2035. The NCC says developing affordable all-electrics capable of towing a family van before 2030 is a huge challenge. It also claims the short timescale means carmakers will not have towing ability as a priority.
