It has been decreed that cars and commercial vehicles up to Transit Van size which use petrol / oil are evil and therefore they will not be available new from 2030, probably ceasing to be made before then. The users of such vehicles are being financially punished already and this will be increased.

Yet for all other vehicles such as heavy vans and trucks there is no pressure for these to become not powered by fossil fuels. What about all kinds of water craft such as the range from small boats to cruise ships to massive cargo vessels etc. What about aircraft, civil and military. What about trains.

It seems that the green principle only applies to the person who uses a car. Anything bigger than a car that is powered by oil is seen as perfectly OK.

I am all for keeping the planet habitable but this principle seems to only apply to the use of cars and vans up to Transit Van size. For everything bigger there is no pressure whatsoever to make it use an alternative propulsion method which is not oil fueled.

The car user is once again easy to punish by various means. The rule about non usage of fossil fuels for every category of vehicle should be the same, applied on the same date. That would be fair to all and do more overall good, getting every vehicle off using fossil fuels. Maybe such an overall rule would need to be implemented later than 2030 but it would do more good, with no vehicle of any kind using fossil fuel. As it stands there is no pressure for vehicles bigger than a Transit Van and numerous categories of other vehicles to use fuel other than variants of oil. This is unfair on car users and overall is definitely not green.

Tesla are testing their prototype heavy truck that does not use oil. That is gratifying.
