EU bans new petrol and diesel cars by 2035

The European Council announced that a consensus was reached in the negotiations between the European Parliament (EP) and the member states on the regulation that will bring new carbon emission standards to vehicles.

Consequently, all new cars and light commercial vehicles to be sold in EU member states from 2035 will have to be zero-emission.

Automakers will reduce their carbon emissions by 100 percent by 2035.

Thus, from that date, new cars with internal combustion engines, including gasoline and diesel, will not be able to be marketed in EU countries.

The emissions reduction target for 2030 will be 55 percent for cars and 50 percent for trucks.

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the EU Commission, shared on her social media account: “The political agreement reached today between the European Parliament and the European Council on sales of new zero-emission cars by 2035 is a very important milestone. important to achieve our climate change by 2030 goal.” he used the phrase.

The EU aims to make all sectors and vehicles zero emissions by 2050.

After this stage, the regulation will enter into force after it is officially approved and published in the EU Official Journal.

The regulation in question was among proposals included in the “Compliance 55” package, which is part of the European Green Deal and aims to cut emissions by at least 55 percent by 2030. (BRITISH AUTOMOBILE CLUB)
