French Ecology Minister Nicolas Hulot announces France's plan to ban the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040 as part of a commitment to combat climate change. This decision represents a "revolution" in the country's transportation sector and aligns with France's goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Hybrid cars currently make up around 3.5% of the French market, while pure electric vehicles account for 1.2%.
