The European Union Evaluates Revising The Target That Foresaw Banning Internal Combustion Engines By 2035 Because Electric Vehicle Sales Fell Below Expected And After Pressure From The German Government To Consider New Technologies In Regulation

The European Union is analyzing changing the target that foresaw eliminating the sale of vehicles with internal combustion engines by 2035, because electric vehicles did not achieve the estimated market share, and after political pressure from the German government on the issue.

The government of Chancellor Friedrich Merz sent a letter to the President of the European Commission asking the institution to reassess the impact of the rule and consider more efficient internal combustion engines, broadening the debate on future emissions allowed in the automotive sector.

The response came from European Commissioner for Transport, Apostolos Tzitzikostas, who stated that the Commission would be open to all technologies and would include zero –emission or low-emission fuels, in the construction of the new regulation.

Regulatory Package In Preparation

The package with all the changes was supposed to be officially announced on December 10; however, the government announced a delay of several weeks, postponing the presentation of the guidelines that will guide the future regulation of the sector.

Tzitzikostas stated that he is still working on the content and wants to deliver a comprehensive set of measures covering the entire regulatory spectrum, considered essential for the European industry, its citizens, and the competitiveness of the bloc.

He emphasized that the document will include necessary aspects to guide the energy transition, as it will be one of the most relevant elements to define the path of the automotive sector in the coming years.
