The government must overhaul motoring taxes as it phases out new diesel and petrol vehicles, according to MPs.
MPs on the Transport Committee said the government must come up with new policy options by the end of the year. A ban on the sale of new diesel and petrol vehicles will be introduced by 2030, which means £35 billion will be lost in tax revenue.
In a report entitled Road Pricing, the Committee favoured a road charging system based on technology that measures road use.
Any scheme would include the drivers of electric vehicles, who would be required to pay for road usage. It would also cover vans and HGV vehicles, as well as overseas vehicle drivers.
