Nissan has vowed to “press ahead” with a plan to only sell electric vehicles in Europe by 2030 despite Rishi Sunak’s delay to the UK ban on new petrol and diesel car sales.

The Japanese carmaker said all new models in Europe will be entirely electric by the end of the decade, as it launched a new EV design in London.
