European Parliament Approved The End Of New Car Sales With Gasoline And Diesel Combustion Engines By 2035

The European Parliament approved on Wednesday (08) the measure proposing the end of the sale of vehicles with gasoline and diesel combustion engines by 2035. After voting on specific amendments within the proposal for the automotive sector, it moved forward. According to the rapporteur of the proposal, the parliament reached a consensus, with 339 votes in favor, 24 abstentions, and 249 against.

Gasoline And Diesel Engines Will Not Be Marketed

The proposal from the European Commission for the automotive sector aims to eliminate all CO2 emissions from passenger cars or large commercial vehicles powered by gasoline and diesel combustion engines, that is, fossil fuels.

In practice, this means that starting in 2035, it will no longer be possible to put these types of vehicles on the market in the European Union. Although the approval of the law is not yet final, the vote on Wednesday (08) confirms the Parliament’s position for the next stages of negotiations occurring between the Council of the European Union, the European Parliament, and the European Commission.

Automakers Are Concerned About The End Of Combustion Engines

For now, Helder Pedro sees it as essential to reinforce incentives for more sustainable mobility and states that, for example, support for the acquisition of electric vehicles in Portugal is still lower than in other countries, which have double the support.

In addition, he also sees a 10-year plan for the electric vehicle charging network as essential. The European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) welcomed the Parliament’s decision on Thursday (09), and vehicle manufacturers are concerned about the end of combustion engines by gasoline and diesel in 2035.

For the association, the reduction of 15% in CO2 emissions emitted by cars by 2025 and 55% by the next decade is viewed as extremely challenging and can only be achieved with massive increases in investment in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, which serves as an alternative to gasoline and diesel cars.

ACEA Also Deems Decision As Premature

ACEA warns that the vehicle sector is preparing for a major industrial transformation and that the uncertainties of the current situation must be taken into account.

The association also states that given the volatility and uncertainty that everyone is experiencing globally, with rising inflation and the war in Ukraine, any long-term regulation extending beyond this decade is premature at this early stage.

Instead, a transparent review is necessary so that post-2030 targets can be defined. The association of manufacturers also warns that rising raw material prices for production are expected to lead to an increase in the production and sale costs of electric cars, which could undermine the intention to ban the sale of cars with gasoline and diesel combustion engines by 2035.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

The construction of houses with cement wood blocks is surprising workers; it uses a direct fitting system without complications and can make the work up to 100 times faster than the conventional method.

The government announces a new clinical research program and outlines how the amount of R$120 million in investments will be distributed among hospitals and universities of the SUS.

Cities in the United States are slowly sinking, and the reason behind the ground subsidence may surprise even experts as buildings, streets, and entire neighborhoods begin to give way without visible signs.

Two restaurants in Brazil achieve the highest rating in the Michelin Guide and elevate the country to a new level of fine dining.

China inaugurates a new era by signing a $5.1 billion project to expand one of the largest gas fields on the planet, adding 10 billion m³ per year and reinforcing an energy mechanism that already moves 30 billion m³ annually towards its market.
