Carmakers protested the proposed acceleration of the European ban on the sale of new internal combustion engine (ICE) powered cars to 2035, while green groups like Transport & Environment were ecstatic.
“The European Parliament has voted to set a 2035 deadline for zero-emissions cars and vans – a significant step forward for climate action, air quality and the affordability of electric vehicles,” T&E said.
ACEA liked the fact the Parliament left unchanged the already rigorous tightening of rules up to 2030. But it was concerned about the 2035 target. “But given the volatility and uncertainty we are experiencing globally day-by-day, any long-term regulation going beyond this decade is premature at this early stage. Instead, a transparent review is needed halfway in order to define post-2030 targets.”
ACEA has previously complained about the fact politicians were mandating winning technologies, rather than letting various technologies – hybrids, fuel cells – fight the battle directly with consumers.
