The End of the Internal Combustion Engine?
The British government has recently announced that it would ban the sale of new gas- and diesel-powered cars beginning in 2040. It also announced that it would invest approximately $1.8 billion with a goal that all vehicles in Britain would produce zero emissions by 2050. The switch from internal combustion to “clean cars” is necessary due to the health and environmental damage caused by vehicle emissions, according to Environment Secretary Michael Gove. The move by Britain follows similar proposals in France and India.
