First France, now the UK. When it comes to motoring, countries are queuing up to show off their environmental credentials. The British government has announced that new diesel and petrol cars and vans will be banned from 2040. The move follows hot on the heels of a similar announcement from France’s ecology minister with the same timeframe.


Both pledges are designed to cut toxic emissions, improve air quality and cut public health risks.
