Petrol Cars “Rationed to Meet Net Zero Targets”
by Will Jones 3 September 2024 5:50 PM

Car makers are rationing sales of petrol and hybrid vehicles in Britain to avoid hefty Net Zero fines, according to one of the country’s biggest dealership chains. The Telegraph has the story.

Robert Forrester, Chief Executive of Vertu Motors, said manufacturers were delaying deliveries of cars until next year amid fears they will otherwise breach quotas set for them by the Government.

This means someone ordering a car today at some dealerships will not receive it until February, he said.

At the same time, Mr. Forrester warned manufacturers and dealers were grappling with a glut of more expensive electric vehicles (EVs) that are “not easily finding homes”.

He said: “In some franchises there’s a restriction on supply of petrol cars and hybrid cars, which is actually where the demand is.

I'll bet politicians have top priority!
