Decarbonise road vehicle finally? Drink to that! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

decoke

'decarbonise' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'road vehicle finally? drink to that' is the wordplay.
'finally?' says to take the final letters (I've seen 'finally' mean this).
'drink' becomes 'coke' (Coke is an example).
'to that' means one lot of letters go next to another (some letters go next to others).
The last letters of 'road vehicle' are 'de'.
'de'+'coke'='DECOKE'

(Another definition for decoke that I've seen is " Remove built-up carbon from an engine".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
