The sale of diesel lorries will be banned in the UK from 2040 as part of a major Government plan to cut carbon emissions from the transport sector.
The delayed Transport Decarbonisation Plan (TDP) includes several consultations aimed at cutting transport pollution to help the UK reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The sale of smaller diesel heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) will be banned from 2035, with ones weighing more than 26 tonnes prohibited from 2040.
Motorways will be fitted with overhead electric wires that can charge eTrucks on the move
