Porsche will stop offering diesel versions of its cars, focusing on hybrid and battery-powered vehicles instead.

Porsche said that demand for diesel models was dropping, adding their share of worldwide Porsche cars was 12 percent in 2017.

Europe Correspondent Gavin Grey told Kate Hawkesby they don't see any future with diesel.

"Porshe has only been in the diesel market for 10 years, so they have not lasted long."
