EU Parliament Votes to End Sales of New Fossil Fuel Vehicles by 2035
Major Milestone in the Transition to Sustainable Transportation
Ban on Combustion Engines from 2035
In a move that has been hailed as a major milestone in the fight against climate change, the European Parliament has voted to effectively end the sale of new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles powered by fossil fuels by 2035. This decision is a significant step towards achieving the EU's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030.
The proposal, which was adopted by 340 votes to 279, will prohibit the sale of new vehicles with combustion engines from 2035. This will apply to both gasoline and diesel vehicles, as well as hybrid vehicles that still rely on fossil fuels.
The ban on fossil fuel vehicles is a major shift in transportation policy, and it is expected to have a significant impact on the automotive industry. Car manufacturers will now need to focus their efforts on developing and producing electric vehicles and other zero-emission vehicles.
The decision by the EU Parliament is a clear signal that the world is moving away from fossil fuels and towards a more sustainable future. It is a significant step in the fight against climate change, and it is an important victory for environmentalists and advocates for clean transportation.
