EU countries set 2035 deadline to ban CO2-emitting cars.
TL;DR
EU countries have approved a landmark law to end sales of new CO2-emitting cars in 2035, with the exemption of cars running on e-fuels. The law requires all new cars sold to have zero CO2 emissions from 2035 and 55% lower CO2 emissions from 2030. The European Commission has pledged to create a legal route for sales of new cars that only run on e-fuels to continue after 2035. The policy had been expected to make it impossible to sell combustion engine cars in the EU from 2035.
