![]() ![]() Incentives for zero and low-emission vehicles The European Commission’s proposed Euro 7 emission rules on cars, vans, trucks and buses would amount to “a ban through the back door” of internal combustion engines as of 2025, if implemented in their current form, industry has said, calling the proposal premature and “completely out of the question”. Vans, which are permitted 147 g/km, will face a 50% reduction by 2030, but must also be emissions free by 2035.ĮU plotting ban on internal combustion engine as of 2025: industry This will be scaled back by 55% by 2030, moving to 0g in 2035. Warding off potential criticism from the industry, a senior EU official said the move is in line with the principle of technology neutrality: were an emission-free ICE vehicle created, it would be permitted under the rules, the official said.Īt present, EU-produced cars are allowed to emit 95g of carbon per kilometre driven. “A combination of measures is required to tackle rising emissions in road transport,” the European Commission said in a statement, adding that “stronger CO2 emissions standards for cars and vans will accelerate the transition to zero-emission mobility”. By 2050 we need to cut it by 90%,” said Adina Vălean, the EU’s transport commissioner. “Transport is today the source of 29% of the EU total greenhouse gas emissions. The announcement came as the EU executive released a package of climate and energy laws, which aims to reduce the bloc’s greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030, and set a path for achieving net zero by 2050. The new rules will result in the bloc deepening its shift to electric vehicles, with the European Commission expecting “almost 100%” of cars on the roads in 2050 to be emissions free. ![]() Sales of new cars and vans that produce carbon emissions will be banned as of 2035, proposals tabled by the European Commission revealed on Wednesday (14 July), a move which all but guarantees that the era of the internal combustion engine (ICE) is drawing to a close in the EU. ![]()
