UK sets out plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions

In a statement on Tuesday, the UK government unveiled a new strategy to boost electric cars as part of its drive to move to a virtually zero-carbon economy.

The government plans to invest £620 million in grants for electric vehicles and street charging points, and carmakers will be mandated to sell a proportion of clean vehicles each year.

The government's new plan is supposed to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions to reach a net-zero target by 2050.
