The European Union deals a new blow to the automobile, prohibited from selling combustion cars in 2035

What had been announced for months has been officially confirmed: the European Union prohibits the sale of combustion cars from 2035. Yesterday, Thursday, the negotiators of the European Council (EU Member States), the European Parliament and the European Commission arrived to the final agreement.

The Council of the European Union has also announced that the process will be carried out in two different stages.

“Pending formal adoption, the co-legislators agreed on a target of reducing CO₂ emissions by 55% for new cars and 50% for new vans by 2030, compared to 2021 levels,” they note in the statement.

In fact, a fine has also been agreed for manufacturers that will consist of 95 euros for each gram of excess in each car in the fleet that they sell.

In this way, by 2035 it will only be legal to sell battery electric cars or hydrogen cars in Europe, but all other electrified technologies will be left out of the equation.

It will only be possible to sell cars that do not emit CO2 when they circulate, something that will mean goodbye to any thermal vehicle, unless in the future a fuel is developed that does not generate such emissions when operating.

This, on paper, would also rule out biofuels because, although in their complete process (production and use) they have neutral emissions, during their use in cars they do generate emissions.

The only exception will be niche manufacturers, those that manufacture less than 10,000 cars a year, who will be granted a one-year moratorium.

In addition, it has also been confirmed that within the “Fit for 55” legislative package, which wants to decarbonize the European Union by 2050, in that year the circulation of any type of car that pollutes will be prohibited.
