0Approval from the AP to ban the sale of diesel and gasoline vehicles
The European Parliament (EP) has approved a proposal to ban the sale of diesel and gasoline-powered passenger cars and light commercial vehicles from 2035.
The European Parliament (EP) has voted on the proposal of the European Commission and approved a proposal that will ban the sale of new diesel and gasoline-powered passenger cars and light commercial vehicles from 2035, within the framework of the EU's zero emission policy. With the decision taken, only electric or hydrogen new vehicles will be allowed to be sold instead of internal combustion engine vehicles from 2035. It is expected to enter into force with the approval of the European Council by the end of the year.
With the decision taken as part of the climate package that aims to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, so that the European Union (EU) can achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, automobile manufacturers will reduce the carbon emissions of their new cars by 55 percent for passenger cars from 2030. vehicles will need to reduce by 50 percent.
SECOND HAND VEHICLES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE DECISION
While it is stated that second-hand vehicles are not included in the said decision, the price of second-hand vehicles is expected to increase. "With the new decision, only electric and hydrogen cars will be sold from 2035," EP deputy Alexandr Vondra said in a statement. Of course, the prices of electric cars are proportional to their batteries, and the prices are expensive compared to the prices of internal combustion engine cars. Since there is no obstacle to the sale of second-hand cars, there will be a temporary uncertainty in the market. Therefore, the prices will increase there as well,” he said.
30 percent of the world's carbon dioxide emissions
According to published reports, there are more than one billion fossil fuel vehicles in the world today and they produce more than 30 percent of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. The tightening of vehicle emission rules is part of the "Fit for 55" climate package, in which the EU seeks to achieve a 55 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 1990.
