That is a clickbait headline. They are still being banned. There is just a proposal that it be postponed to 2040 instead.
That’s fine. 2040 is a long time awayThat is a clickbait headline. They are still being banned. There is just a proposal that it be postponed to 2040 instead.
Ed Miliband is pushing for bringing forward to 2030.Other sources suggest a push back to 2040 for the ICE ban.
Given the bright colours, that picture looks like US drinks in European bottles.
The rumours are that the 90% ban on ICE might be permanent after 2040.Mandatory fleet-based CO₂ reduction from 2035 shall be only 90% instead of 100%. Manufacturers will therefore still be able to sell cars with internal combustion engines for first registration in Europe. The number will depend on their fleet’s overall emissions, with the share of electric battery vehicles being a key factor. E-fuels are not currently envisaged to play a significant role, at an estimated price of 10–15 euros per liter. The 90% shall apply from 2035 to 2040, likely with a gradual phase-out from 2040. No details have transpired yet as to possible further exemptions for small series manufacturers or commercial vehicles (N1). Official European Commission communication is due on 16 December.
