The U.K. governmental panels says the government should consider offering diesel owners incentives to scrap their cars and switch to gasoline vehicles, Bloomberg News reports.
The House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee says such a scheme would be a “shortcut to cleaning up the air in our cities.”
The committee notes that proposed changes to next year’s vehicle excise duty focus only on carbon dioxide emissions. Longer term, it says, the U.K. also should incentivize vehicles that emit low levels of nitrogen oxides, a pollutant linked to smog and respiratory problems.
The policy suggestion alludes to Volkswagen AG’s scandal involving 8.5 million diesels it sold in Europe that were rigged to evade NOx test limits. Other test groups have said many diesels exceed EU standards for NOx emissions under real-world driving conditions.
