DS Automobiles to only sell plug-in hybrid or electric vehicles by 2025

Following the British Government's announcement to bring forward the end date on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars to 2030, DS Automobiles is confirming it will meet the new guidelines five years ahead of time. DS Automobiles has announced that by 2025, it will exclusively offer plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) and fully electric vehicles (EV) to its customers.

This commitment to electrification and sustainability has made DS the only premium, multi-energy manufacturer to meet the current 95g/km CO₂ average fleet emissions targets set by the European Commission. The ambition for DS Automobiles is to be among the global leaders in EVs.

Mark Blundell, U.K. Marketing Director, DS Automobiles, said, "The ambitious transition to Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicles (ULEVs) by the U.K. Government must be met with equally ambitious work from the industry. DS Automobiles has been a pioneering force for electric and plug-in vehicles since the beginning and is in a strong position to meet the new guidelines five years ahead of time, through its continued investment in and development of pioneering electrified vehicles."
