The European Union (EU) has announced a major plan to ban the sale of carbon-emitting vehicles by 2035 as part of efforts to address environmental issues.

This decision has raised concerns among some car manufacturers since the new regulation will render new diesel and gasoline cars illegal.

The EU Climate Commission aims not only to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles but also to tighten carbon emission limits, which will take effect next year. However, countries like Italy and the Czech Republic have expressed concerns, arguing that the electric vehicle (EV) market is not yet sufficiently developed, which could hinder manufacturers from meeting the policy goals.

Infrastructure Improvements to Support the Transition to Electric Power

The EU Climate Commission revealed that discussions have already taken place with the automotive sector, emphasizing that investments in infrastructure, such as charging stations, could help achieve the targets. The potential role of biofuels in the transition is still under consideration for future evaluation.

Automakers' Readiness for the New Rules and Acceptance of Challenges

Despite planned support for infrastructure, many European car manufacturers admit facing difficulties in complying with the EU's carbon emission requirements. They also anticipate potentially high fines if they cannot adapt in time.
