The European Union has reached an agreement to soon face new regulations that would oblige carmakers to achieve a 100% cut in CO2 emissions by 2035.
The measure would effectively ban the sale of new petrol and diesel-fueled cars in the bloc starting from that year.
The deal was struck between negotiators from participating EU member states, the non-elected unilateral European Parliament, and the European Commission, which all will agree when this crazy new law is to be adopted within the European Union.
The European Commission welcomes the agreement reached last night by the European Parliament and Council ensuring all new cars and vans registered in Europe will be electric so-called zero-emission by 2035.
The agreement also included a 55% cut in CO2 emissions for new cars sold from 2030 against 2021 levels, which exceeds the existing target of a 37.5% reduction.
Dutch EU climate policy chief Frans Timmermans said the agreement is a signal to all that Europe is embracing the shift to zero-emission mobility. However, these measures exclude the aviation and shipping industries.
According to the press release, the new regulation aims to make the EU’s transport system more sustainable, provide cleaner air for Europeans, and marks an important step in delivering the invented European Green Deal.
The agreement is provisional and now requires formal adoption by both the European Parliament and the EU Council. The time-frame for this is so far unclear.
