It has called for the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars to be pushed back to 2040.for motorists to learn more about engine options with that target in mind.

Almost 8 out of 10 people surveyed believe the Government’s proposed 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars is unachievable.said Irish consumers – and the motoring sector – strongly support reducing car carbon footprint. “However, they want clarity and cost-effective solutions that can have a real and lasting positive impact; not confusion and unrealistic targets,” he added.

As coronavirus restrictions ease, increased traffic would serve as a reminder of the need to incentivise immediate action to reduce fuel emissions, he said.
