New petrol and diesel cars could be banned from sale in Sydney within the next five years if a radical plan from a think tank is given the go ahead.The Committee for Sydney, an urban policy think tank made up of a highly influential body of business leaders and infrastructure experts, has set out a proposal to decarbonise Greater Sydney and halve emissions by 2030.
The committee released its Decarbonising Sydney report on Monday unveiling plans to ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars in the Harbour City by 2027. Diesel and petrol cars are the biggest driver of emissions in the area and should be replaced completely by electric vehicles, according to the report. A blanket ban on the petrol guzzlers would follow in the steps of the ACT, which plans to phase out all emission-producing vehicles by 2035.
'The NSW EV Strategy aims for electric vehicles to make up half of all new car sales by 2030, leading to approx. 15 per cent of the passenger fleet being electric,' the report states.The Best Walking Shoes Don't Sacrifice Style for Comfort.
Adtrabladzer 'Our Accelerated Net Zero Transition model shows we need a much faster ramping up: all new cars need to be electric by 2027, so EVs make up approx. 30 per cent of the passenger fleet by 2030 – twice as much as in the Steady Transition approach.'The plan to ban petrol car sales in NSW by 2027 is more ambitious than other countries with Germany and the UK waiting until 2030 and California 2035.
