UK may further dilute zero-emission vehicle sales target

The UK government, under Andy Burnham, is reportedly preparing to further weaken the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate, a policy that requires automakers to sell a rising share of electric cars.

The move would slow the UK's transition to electric vehicles, affecting automakers, consumers, and the country's climate commitments.
