Any new combustion engines sold after 2035 should not be able to run on conventional fossil fuels, EU pitches.
, which was due to sweep away forever the idea of burning fuel inside a car to make it move. To bring you up to speed if you’ve not been glued to news reports, the vote on banning all new vehicles with a combustion engine being sold within the EU was a whisker away from happening before a last-minute intervention by Germany's caped crusader, Volker Wissing. This caught the EU Commission by surprise, on the basis that parliament had agreed the law last year and it was seen as a dead cert.
The German proposal, which has apparently earned the backing of Italy, the Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia, was to underline a firm commitment to permitting ICE cars to be sold if they run on synthetic e-fuels after 2035. There had been a tacit acknowledgement of the technology previously, but no definitive agreement.
What the Commission is proposing is that to qualify for this new, post-2035 definition, the engine must be able to distinguish CO2-neutral fuels from fossil fuels, which would mean that anyone popping into their nearest petrol station for a quick splash and dash would discover a warning message along the lines of ‘up with this I will not put’ and nothing much else. Needless to say, this isn’t going down well in Germany.
In a bid to keep the conversation constructive and moving in the right direction, Wissing hasn’t rejected the proposal; he’s merely suggested it needs some tweaks. The parties on both sides are aiming to secure an agreement before things get spectacularly messy, although one EU official told Reuters earlier in the week that ‘any proposal on registering e-fuel cars would only be made after the combustion engine phaseout law was finally adopted.
