Japan's Honda has said it will stop manufacturing gasoline-only vehicles in Europe by 2022, and will electrify all cars sold by the same date, three years earlier than previously targeted. Tom Gardner, Honda senior VP for Europe, told Sky News' Iain King it would "considerably change the line-up" of vehicles offered by the company. The move is part of Honda's plan to cut its carbon emissions from about 40 percent today compared with 1990 levels to less than 10 percent by 2030.

Gardner also said Honda had made the "tough decision" to import cars into Europe rather than produce them there, due to already-established supply chains.
