British Prime Minister Boris Johnson plans to announce next week a ban on the sale of new gasoline- and diesel-powered cars beginning in 2030, five years earlier than previously planned, the Financial Times reported on Nov. 14.

While the United Kingdom had originally planned for the ban to start in 2040 as part of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, in February, Johnson accelerated the plan to 2035.
