Europe has passed a policy to stop using fuel-powered cars from 2035
The policy of the European Union (EU) to completely ban fuel vehicles from 2035 has been passed unanimously. To combat climate change, the countries of the European Union have agreed to ban petrol and diesel vehicles from 2035 and to accelerate the use of electric vehicles.
A law was approved by EU countries, European Parliament to achieve zero carbon dioxide emissions within the next 13 years. In which the European Commission, which drafted the law, and the car manufacturing companies have agreed on the policy. As a result, it will not be possible to sell fuel vehicles in 27 European Union countries.
"This agreement is good news for motorists," said Jan Huitema, chief negotiator of the European Parliament, "new zero-emission cars will be cheaper and more accessible for everyone."
EU climate policy chief Frans Timmemans said the agreement is a good sign for industry and consumers.
In the said agreement, it is mentioned that 55 percent carbon dioxide emissions should be reduced in 2021 level cars sold from 2030 onwards. Similarly, it is said that carbon dioxide emissions must be reduced by 100 percent in vehicles sold from 2035.
Regulators are increasing pressure on car manufacturers to curb their carbon footprint, which has led to many investors starting to invest in electrification.
Thomas Schaefer, the head of the famous car manufacturer Volkswagen, has said that his company will produce only electric cars in Europe from 2033. From July 2021, the European Automobile Industry Association (ACEA) has been proposing to encourage low-emission engines and hydrogen vehicles by banning engines with high carbon emissions.
