From The Daily Sceptic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By\u00a0Will Jones<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of Britain\u2019s best-selling hybrid cars will be banned from sale after 2030 under a Net Zero crackdown proposed by Ministers. The Telegraph <\/em>has the story<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The Government favours a strict limit on CO2<\/sub> emissions that would mean popular new hybrids made by Range Rover, Ford, VW and Nissan could no longer be sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In consultation documents published the day before Christmas, the Government confirmed plans to allow some new hybrids to remain on the market<\/a> for five years after a ban on pure petrol and diesel cars comes into force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the proposed emissions limits are stricter than expected and would mean that swathes of popular vehicles have to come off the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposal is meant to prevent a situation where some petrol and diesel cars would be banned while some existing hybrids that are more polluting remain on sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would limit emissions to 115 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre, potentially ruling out sales of many \u201cmild\u201d hybrids \u2013 those that have electric motors but cannot use them to travel significant distances \u2013 as well as a smaller number of plug-in ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Models that would face bans under this rule include the mild hybrid versions of the Ford Puma, Range Rover Evoque, Nissan Qashqai and VW Golf, among several others, analysis by the Telegraph <\/em>suggests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The true impact could be even larger because emissions ratings for most plug-in hybrids today do not reflect their real-world performance and are set to be updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many cases the true emissions of plug-ins are 243% higher, according to the Government. If emissions figures are revised up higher in the coming years, many more models will come off the market.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
