EU member states have agreed to prohibit the sale of gas-powered automobiles and vans beginning in 2035

According to the agreement, new automobiles manufactured after 2030 must meet a 55% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to 2021 levels. Vans must comply with a 50% reduction. Furthermore, the agreement says that existing EU money will be used to transition to zero-emission cars and related technologies in the future. Starting in 2025, the Commission also promises to produce a report every two years tracking the region’s progress toward zero-emission road transportation.
