EU and Germany reach agreement on future of combustion engines.
TL;DR
The European Commission and Germany's Transport Ministry have reached a deal to allow the sale of new engine-installed cars running exclusively on synthetic e-fuels even after a mandate comes into force requiring sales of only zero-emission vehicles from 2035. The Commission will work on getting the CO2 standards for cars regulation adopted as soon as possible. The deal means Germany has effectively dropped its last-minute opposition to the car engine ban law.
