Four types of car will be BANNED in the UK by the end of the decade. From 2030, new vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICE), such as petrol, diesel, and LPG cars, will be banned across the UK, with sales of new hybrid vehicles set to be banned from 2035. However, second-hand ICE and hybrids will still be able to be bought and sold after these years. You’ll still be able to drive your petrol or diesel car after 2030 if you wish. The ban won’t stop people already owning ICE cars from using them. But that might not be the case everywhere. If current Clean Air Zones expand or become stricter, we may see the total ban of ICE cars entering certain areas at specific or all times. This could make diesel, as well as petrol cars, less future-proof than EVs.

It’s not impossible for petrol and diesel to eventually be phased out, becoming either less available or more expensive in the future. "The ban of new ICE cars will mean that you’ll see fewer of them, as old models come to the end of their lives and are scrapped. This means the demand for petrol and diesel will eventually reduce, meaning supply will likely drop, too. But for now, an outright halt to the sale of petrol or diesel doesn’t seem to be in the pipeline." Ministers plan to reinstate a 2030 ban on new cars that run solely on petrol and diesel that was dropped by Rishi Sunak a year ago. A Department for Transport spokesperson said: "We have always been committed to restoring the original 2030 phase-out date for the sale of new cars with pure internal combustion engines. “The original phase-out date included the provision for some hybrid vehicle sales between 2030 and 35. We know it is important to provide certainty and stability for drivers and will set out further details in due course.” In its manifesto, Labour pledged to give “certainty to manufacturers by restoring the phase-out date of 2030 for new cars with internal combustion engines”.
