Honda ditches diesel and phases out pure petrol models beforehand

Diesel cars have been withdrawn from sale by a leading manufacturer in the clearest sign yet that their days on British roads are numbered.

Report informs, The Times has learned that Honda has stopped selling new diesel cars, with the last vehicles expected to be out of dealerships within a few weeks.

The Japanese company is the biggest manufacturer to date to ditch diesel in Britain after bringing forward plans to switch to 100 percent green technology in the next two years.

Honda will phase out pure petrol cars by the end of 2022 rather than 2025, as previously announced, in favor of hybrid and battery-powered models. Other companies are also withdrawing diesel following a drop in demand.
