The U.K. government is calling on the car industry for its views on how to deliver on a plan to phase out gasoline and diesel cars and transition to zero-emission vehicles from 2030.

U.K. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said Tuesday that she is seeking the industry’s views on how to end the sale of new cars with combustion engines from 2030, and potential requirements for new non-zero emission vans to be sold from 2030 to 2035.
