Scrap the 2040 ban on all new petrol and diesel cars, vans, lorries and buses.
Government have failed to invest in inter-model, integrated and sustainable mass transit and freight movement as well as lack of funding for town planning to cut air pollution. Because of this they are now penalising companies and individuals that will have to pay heavily before the 2040/50 cut-off.
Successive UK gov's. have failed to deliver an effective, forward thinking transport policy/infrastructure across the entire UK. Because of this failing, and pressure from debatable climate change evidence, they now choose to risk billions of pounds in the economy that are generated from the use of petrol/diesel every year. This ban will very quickly have a massive adverse effect on the UK economy, putting millions of jobs/livelihoods at risk when it was gov's failing in the first place.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
The Government's Road to Zero strategy aims to phase out all sales of new conventional petrol and diesel cars by 2040. The strategy doesn't set out a firm target in relation to lorries and buses, so we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
