France is set to ban the sale of any
car that uses petrol or diesel fuel by 2040, in what the ecology minister
called a "revolution" Nicolas Hulot announced the planned ban on
fossil fuel vehicles as part
of a renewed commitment to the Paris climate deal.
He said France planned to become
carbon neutral by 2050. Hybrid cars make up about 3.5% of the French market,
with pure electric vehicles accounting for just 1.2%. It is not yet clear what
will happen to existing fossil fuel vehicles still in use in 2040.
