    It's government policy to stop the sale of petrol and diesel cars in 2030 and to stop issuing NCT certs for them in 2045.

    Does this also apply to campervans?

    Think of all the things that were supposed to happen in the last 25 years.

    Commercial vans and trucks are already being penalised with their operators being forced into "upgrading" to Euro5 and Euro6 engines. The concept of a campervan will undoubtedly continue, but I'm not sure about the individual vehicles (and all the character they embody) - already the number of places I can take mine has dropped significantly in the last 10 years (due to low-emissions zone restrictions) with no benefit to the world's atmosphere.
