2030 - No new ICE cars to be sold

I share your concern Nutsy. In my opinion the decision to bring the ban forward to 2030 is insane. 2040 was a much more sensible timescale. 

There is a big chance this could be a disaster for the caravan industry. I do hope the Caravan Club fights this tooth and nail. And doesn't just cave in because it wants to be seen as "saving the planet". 

This all seem like pie in the sky to me. Look at all the haulage that's using diesel, diesel trains & buses, there doesn't seem to be any mention of banning the sale of Transit vans. Maybe I can use a van to tow my caravan.

My thoughts as well. If they still sell diesel vans from 2030 then most sites will resemble travellers sites with transits parked everywhere as we be able to buy anything else to tow with. 

The ban includes vans as well. 

It is virtue signalling gone mad with no idea of the unintended consequencies. New Cars will become a middle class luxury again with those who cannot afford a new EV simply keeping old polluting cars on the roads for longer.... 

You are right flatcoat. The unintended consequences of this could be off the scale. And to think he has done this so he can grandstand at next year's big climate conference. And it may also show the influence of his new partner. I certainly didn't vote for this last December.

I will be writing to my MP about this. It's about the only thing we can do. 

What is the Club's position on this announcement?

Probably 'run what yah brung'.

i will buy a new diesel just before the ban ( if there is any left for sale )

The ban is the sale of new ICE cars in UK 2030, there is no mention/nothing stopping you importing one from the EU is there ?

The EU is going down the same route.
