230925 英国政府确认燃油车禁令再推迟5年
▍原文
The UK car industry has raised concerns that the decision to delay the ban on new petrol and diesel car sales could put off drivers switching to electric vehicles.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak confirmed the planned ban was being pushed back five years from 2030 to 2035.
He said it was "not right to impose more costs on working people", adding "sensible green leadership" was needed.
