London’s traffic to be emission-free by 2050: London’s mayor Sadiq Khan has introduced an ambitious roadmap that includes the aim to reach zero emission transport in the British capital by 2050. This objective does not just apply to the city centre but to the whole of London. Cabs and rental cars must practically be all-electric from 2033 and buses be powered exclusively electric from 2037 in order to reach that target. Three years later, the roadmap schedules the creation of a zero emission zone in the inner city before finally extending this zone to span the greater London by 2050.
