Hybrid cars CAN stay on roads for five extra years just months after 2030 ban brought forward, ministers confirm

HYBRID cars will be allowed to remain on Britain’s roads for five years longer than pure petrol or diesel cars, ministers have finally confirmed.

Drivers and motoring organisations had been urging the Government to clarify the rules around semi-electric vehicles after the rush to Net Zero was significantly accelerated.

The ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel motors was originally slated for 2030 when it was announced by then-PM Boris Johnson.

This was then pushed back to 2035, in line with the EU deadline, by Rishi Sunak last year.

However, Labour ministers have now reinstated the initial date, as promised in their election manifesto.

The announcement that the ban would boomerang back to 2030 was met with concern by the car industry, especially given the ambiguity over whether the rules would apply to petrol-powered hybrids.

Officials have now confirmed that hybrid models will be exempt from the restrictions for five years, with the UK going EV-only from 2035.

This is a developing story and more information will be added as it become available.
