Rumours abound that all use of red diesel, with the exception of agriculture, will be banned in the upcoming budget.
In the long term this must encourage more electrification, but in the short term what losses of passengers to road and air, and freight to roads will this cost?
Better stop exporting 90s and 91s and stand by for engine changing where diesel and electric routes meet!

"Rishi Sunak is expected to cut subsidies for a type of diesel used by off-road vehicles and machinery as he backs away from ending the freeze for fuel duty paid by motorists."
