EU Parliament votes to officially ban sale of fuel vehicles in 2035

According to the latest report, the European Parliament held a meeting in Strasbourg, France on June 8, and voted to pass a European Commission proposal to stop the sale of new fuel vehicles in the EU from 2035. The sale order includes hybrid vehicles.

The proposal was developed by the European Commission in July 2021 within the framework of its “Green Package”. To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, the European Commission proposes to reduce CO2 emissions from new cars by 55% from 2021 levels to 2030 and by 100% from 2035.

This is actually equivalent to only authorizing the sale of pure electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles using hydrogen energy from 2035. Volkswagen previously said it would stop selling internal combustion engine cars in Europe between 2033 and 2035. China and the U.S. will stop selling ICE vehicles at a later stage, while Africa and South America will continue to sell ICE vehicles due to a lack of infrastructure.

Ni Jun, the chief manufacturing officer of CATL, said in May that from the perspective of new energy vehicle plans issued by major countries and governments around the world, by 2030, or 2035 at the latest, there will be no more fuel vehicles on the market.

In April this year, BYD announced that it has stopped the production of fuel vehicles since March this year, focusing on pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
