    In June 2019, the UK became the first major economy to pass "zero emission" legislation. According to the requirements, the UK will achieve the goal of zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and achieve the final carbon budget in accordance with the five-year plan. As one of the countries that initiated the industrial revolution, the British government stated that it would make "clean growth" the core of its industrial strategy.

    In April this year, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported that experts called on the British government to ban the sale of gasoline vehicles by 2035 at the latest, otherwise the 2050 zero emission plan would not be completed.

    After half a year, Bloomberg reported that the United Kingdom must implement a sales ban before 2030 to enable it to achieve its goal of zero emissions legislation in the middle of this century. The report pointed out that the United Kingdom is expected to achieve the third carbon budget, but it needs to control more carbon dioxide emissions among different industries to meet the fourth and fifth carbon budgets. In December of this year, the British government will formulate the sixth carbon budget, which may make the UK the first country to complete the zero-emissions law.

    According to the report, the United Kingdom needs to control 77 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions to achieve its carbon budget from 2028 to 2032. Therefore, the ban on burning in 2030 may become one of the means.

    The “Daily Telegraph” reported that the British opposition Labour Party called on the government to implement a ban on the sale of fuel vehicles and hybrid vehicles in 2030. The Labour Party stated that this move would not only reduce environmental pollution, but also promote the development and creation of the British automobile industry. More job opportunities.

    The climate change minister of the opposition government, Matthew Pennycook, said that the 2030 ban is a seemingly ambitious but workable plan to phase out sales of new gasoline, diesel and hybrids by then Locomotives will bring new vitality to the British automobile industry.

    A spokesperson for the British Ministry of Transport said that 2.5 billion pounds will be invested to subsidize the purchase of electric vehicles and the coverage of charging infrastructure.

    In June 2019, while the United Kingdom passed the 2050 zero-emission legislation, the French Minister of Transport stated that it would implement a ban on fossil fuel vehicles after 2040. As early as 2017, French Minister of Unity and Ecological Transformation Nicolas Hulot revealed that France will completely ban the sale of fuel vehicles by 2040.

    Prior to this, the Norwegian government announced that it plans to ban the sale of fuel vehicles in 2025, and Germany will ban the sale of fuel vehicles in 2030.

    In May of this year, Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) released the latest "New Energy Vehicle Market Long-term Outlook" report that by 2040, new energy vehicles will account for 58% of global passenger vehicle sales. The amount accounted for 31%. In addition to passenger vehicles, new energy vehicles will account for 67% of the total number of buses.

    Xu Xiangyang, a professor at the School of Transportation Science and Engineering of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, believes that “Electrification is a major trend in the development of the automobile industry, but whether the process of electrification can completely replace the internal combustion engine by 2030 is still very uncertain. The level of development of battery technology in 2030. Diesel vehicles may be replaced by electric vehicles in the field of commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles, but certain areas may not be able to be realized."
