To speed up the shift to cleaner transport, the UK government has set clear rules. These rules aim to move the country toward zero-emission vehicles.
By law, 80% of new cars and 70% of new vans sold in Great Britain must be zero-emission by 2030. This rises to 100% by 2035.
These targets give long-term clarity to car makers and investors. They encourage steady progress in electric vehicle technology. For drivers, the message is clear. The future of driving is electric, not optional.
Even so, electric vehicles still make up a small share of cars on UK roads. By mid-2024, only about 3% of cars were fully electric. Hybrid vehicles are more common, but many still use fossil fuels.
