- Prime Minister Andy Burnham is considering reducing the 2030 zero-emission car target.
- The current mandate requires 80% of new cars and 70% of vans to be zero-emission by 2030.
- Analysts warn a 50% target would add 147 megatonnes CO2e, equal to 58% of Rosebank oilfield emissions.
- Government says the phase-out remains: no petrol/diesel by 2030 and all zero-emission vehicles by 2035.
