UK to speed up petrol-car ban
By EUobserver
The UK has said it will ban sales of petrol and diesel cars by 2030, five years earlier than previously promised, in what its prime minister Boris Johnson called a "green revolution". The news comes amid falling car sales in EU markets, due, in part, to the pandemic, with almost 1 million fewer vehicles sold in October this year than last year, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association said.
