[Brussels, 24th Archyde.com]-Italy, Portugal, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania will extend the period of de facto ban on new gasoline and diesel vehicle sales by the European Union (EU) by five years from 2035. I’m looking for it. Archyde.com obtained documents circulated in member countries.

Last year, the European Commission announced a plan to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from new cars by 100% as of 1935. In response, the five countries requested that the reduction be 90% in 1935 and 100% in 1940. Light commercial vehicles are required to be 80% in 1935 and 100% in 1940.

The document states that “(before the sale ban) there must be a well-tuned transition period.” The proposed ban will be an important pillar in the EU’s plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles and promote the transition to electric vehicles (EVs).

Ministers of Member States will take a position at next week’s meeting, after which the final legal content will be discussed with the European Parliament.
