EU to Ban Sales of New Combustion Engine Vehicles by 2035
Europe Moves Toward a Cleaner Transportation Future
Majority of EU Parliament Votes in Favor of Prohibition
In a landmark decision, the European Union (EU) has voted to ban the sale of new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles with combustion engines by 2035. This significant step aligns with the EU's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a more sustainable transportation sector.
The decision, approved by the majority of EU parliamentarians, will require automakers to shift their focus away from traditional gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles. Starting in 2035, only zero-emission vehicles, such as electric cars, will be allowed for new registrations within the 28 EU member states.
This bold move marks a major milestone in the EU's efforts to decarbonize its transportation industry. By eliminating the sale of combustion engine vehicles, the EU aims to significantly reduce carbon emissions, improve air quality, and accelerate the transition to clean energy sources.
