This ban is set to happen within a decade; in 2030. It comes five years earlier than what was initially planned. At the inception of these environmental conservation plans, the UK government planned on phasing out of diesel and petrol cars by 2040. However, after a series of meetings and talks, in February 2020, the involved parties changed it to 2035, and now Johnson is expected to bring it forward to 2030. The accelerated rate of technological advancements, the urgency to act, and environmental policy changes are some of the driving forces contributing to changes in the set
