Car Firms Call for More Support to Meet 2030 Petrol and Diesel Ban

Car manufacturers are urging governments to provide greater support to help the industry meet the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars. As the deadline approaches, firms highlight the need for clearer policies, stronger incentives, and faster investment in charging infrastructure to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles.

Many companies are already investing heavily in battery technology, new production lines, and low‑emission models. However, they warn that without coordinated action on energy grids, public charging networks, and consumer incentives, the pace of change may not be sufficient to hit the 2030 target.

Industry leaders also stress the importance of retraining workers and supporting supply chains to adapt to the shift away from internal combustion engines. They argue that a stable regulatory framework and long‑term funding commitments are essential to protect jobs, maintain competitiveness, and deliver on climate goals.

As the deadline draws nearer, the debate over how best to balance environmental ambitions with economic realities is intensifying. The outcome will shape the future of mobility, investment, and innovation across the automotive sector.
