The ban doesn't effect Trucks or Buses
It's ben suggested that there will still be millions of petrol/diesel cars on the road after that point. |
The discussions I've heard seem pretty clear that new cars will not have petrol or diesel engines at all so no hybrids either. I cannot imagine this will happen on time but it's bound to happen in the end. Of course there will be a large but dwindling legacy ICE fleet and I imagine there will come a point where people with ICE engines start to suffer range anxiety as more and more filling stations become uneconomic and close down, unless of course enough stay open to serve commercial vehicles.
I don't see how this has any direct connection with motorsport, I see it applying to vehicles for use on the road but huge changes are undoubtedly coming to motorsport too and much of the lower cost parts of the sport have an almost total reliance on parts mass produced for road cars which might become more specialist and expensive.
