Starting in 2035, the European Union wants to ban new combustion engine cars. Many governments worldwide have recently vowed to halt the sale of new gas-powered automobiles in the 2030s to reduce CO2 emissions as the climate crisis becomes more critical. The most recent organization to present such plans is the European Union.
This week, a proposal to ban new combustion engine cars and vans starting in 2035 was approved by the European Council and the EU Parliament. The two teams anticipated quickly adopting the new guidelines.
The first part of the plan to ban new combustion engine cars is to cut CO2 emissions from new automobiles by 55% relative to levels in 2021 and from new vans by 50% by 2030. The EU intends to persuade automakers to produce more low-emission and zero-emission vehicles by strengthening emissions restrictions.
Manufacturers may receive loosened targets if enough of their new cars are low- or zero-emission. The regulations raise the minimum mark to 25% of automobiles and 17% of vans until 2030. Fewer emissions credits will be given to automakers who implement CO2-reducing technology.
With this plan, the EU intends to accelerate the creation of more affordable electronic vehicles, carbon-neutral fuels, and other zero-emission innovations. A fine of €95 per gram of CO2 per kilometer beyond the limit for a particular year will be assessed for exceeding emissions restrictions. Ferrari and Aston Martin are two examples of small-volume manufacturers immune from the new regulations until the end of 2035.
By 2035, Massachusetts, New York, and California will stop manufacturing new gas-powered cars and trucks. Japan, China, the UK, and Germany are attempting to pass similar legislation. The prohibition deadline has been extended to 2025 due to more important goals that Norway and South Korea set.
The UN claims that such harsh measures may be required to prevent the worst effects of climate change. According to a recent UN environment assessment, there is no longer a viable way to keep global temperature increases to 1.5C over pre-industrial levels.
According to current policies, global warming will reach 2.8 degrees Celsius by 2100, but the most recent commitments from governments and other groups will only limit it to 2.4 or 2.6 degrees Celsius. A global economic system-wide reform will be necessary to reduce emissions by 2030.
