France is set to ban the sale of any car that uses petrol or diesel fuel by 2040, in what the ecology minister called a “revolution”.
Nicolas Hulot announced the planned ban on fossil fuel vehicles as part of a renewed commitment to the Paris climate deal.
He said France planned to become carbon neutral by 2050.
Hybrid cars make up about Three.5% of the French market, with unspoiled electrified vehicles accounting for just 1.2%.
It is not yet clear what will happen to existing fossil fuel vehicles still in use in 2040.
Mr Hulot, a veteran environmental campaigner, was appointed by fresh French President Emmanuel Macron. Mr Macron has openly criticised US environmental policy, urging Donald Trump to “make our planet good again”.
President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate switch agreement in June was explicitly named as a factor in France’s fresh vehicle plan.
“France has determined to become carbon neutral by two thousand fifty following the US decision,” Mr Hulot said, adding that the government would have to make investments to meet that target.
Poorer households would receive financial assistance to substitute older, more polluting vehicles with cleaner ones, he said.
Earlier this week, car manufacturer Volvo said all of its fresh car models would be at least partly electrified from 2019, an announcement referenced by Mr Hulot.
He said he believes French car manufacturers – including brands such as Peugeot-Citroen and Renault – would meet the challenge, albeit he acknowledged it would be difficult. Renault’s “Zoe” electrified vehicle range is one of the most popular in Europe.
However, traditional fossil fuel vehicles account for about 95% of the European market.
Other targets set in the French environmental plan include ending coal power plants by 2022, reducing nuclear power to 50% of total output by 2025, and ending the issuance of fresh oil and gas exploration licences.
Several French cities fight with high levels of air pollution, including Paris, which suffered several days of peak pollution in March.
Last month, a woman took the French state to court over what she said was a failure to protect her health from the effects of air pollution in Paris.
Norway, which is the leader in the use of electrical cars in Europe, wants to budge to electric-only vehicles by 2025, as does the Netherlands. Both Germany and India have proposed similar measures with a target of 2030.
