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.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
