Carmakers have lobbied the UK to revoke a ban on petrol and diesel cars set to take effect after 2035. The car industry's efforts to ditch or delay the ban have been reported, but it is unclear if the ban will be revoked or delayed. Meanwhile, reports on the European Union's plans for combustion engines are conflicting, with some indicating a potential ban or emissions reduction by 2035, while others suggest a possible delay to 2040.
