The UK should get rid of a “stupid” ban on the sale of petrol and diesel cars in order to close a trade deal with the European Union, the chief of Renault has said.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Renault CEO François Provost said if the UK wishes to join the EU’s Made in Europe industrial programme it should rethink the current pledge to ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2030, while permitting hybrid car sales until 2035.
