You have to read the whole thing to grasp the insanity. How come the ecoweenies in the USA haven't latched on to nitrogen oxide pollution?

NOx is part of the German vehicle emissions trouble.
US has stricter NOx standards than soon to be muzzie You-rope.

Smart move by the Brits; the “Asians” infesting their island are terrible drivers. So it’s best to eliminate cars bfore they become the majority of the population.

All of the native Brits will be dead by 2040...
And pollution will have nothing to do with it.

One more reason I drive something offensive to the environmental activists, especially the European flavor - an affordable V6 sedan that burns gasoline.

It is a long time to 2040.
Enough time for someone with brains to reverse that decision.
Because their economy will collapse.
No nation can be prosperous when their energy costs are multiples of the rest of the world.

Nitrogen oxides(NOx) react with volatile organic compounds(VOCs), in the presence of sunlight, to produce ozone aka smog.

The government warned that the move, which will also take in hybrid vehicles, was needed because of the unnecessary and avoidable impact that poor air quality was having on peoples health. Ministers believe it poses the largest environment risk to public health in the UK, costing up to £2.7bn in lost productivity in one recent year. I'd love to see the breakdown on that 2.7 Billion in lost productivity. Sounds like a total fabrication to me.
Last December, I was in London and admittedly, the streets are busy. Thousands of those little London taxis are clattering about - most cars that you see on the streets are diesels. For all that (and the red buses too), I don't recall ever seeing or smelling exhaust fumes. I was expecting to see some sign of this problem and repeatedly looked for it, but it just wasn't there demanding notice.
Whatever is really behind this, it's not air quality.

Britain to ban sale of all diesel and petrol cars and vans from 2040
Sounds like a good way to take themselves back to the middle ages.
Back to the future.
Leftism is pure insanity.

Modern ICE-powered vehicles produce a tiny fraction of the actual pollutants, compared to cars of 30 years or so ago. Levels may be increasing — but, they’re doing so from a very small base (relative to the not-so-distant past).
I suspect that this is nothing more than a high-profile PR move. Most British ‘road trips’ are within the range of an EV. It would be much harder for continent-wide countries, such as the USA and Canada to make a ban on ICE work.

In 2008 around 180,000 people in the UK were directly employed in the UK automotive manufacturing sector.[131] In that year the sector had a turnover of £52.5 billion, generated £26.6 billion of exports and produced around 1.45 million passenger vehicles and 203,000 commercial vehicles.[131] The UK is a major centre for engine manufacturing, and in 2008 around 3.16 million engines were produced in the country.[131] —Wikipedia

Two things stand out....why are the EU regulations quoted as a threat, we are leaving and can make our own, 2nd Gove the minister was one of the few sane Pols, now he too has gone to the darkside.
Then of course the whole scheme relies on not yet created technology, as of now it is all based on pure Melon fantasy.....and this is from a Tory gu’mint....tk God I voted UKIP.
