Before the deal becomes official, the European Parliament and Council must still ratify it, and amendments may be made before then. According to Reuters, the EU aims to produce a proposal on how to market carbon-neutral vehicles beyond 2035. However, automakers have been planning for the transition to zero-emission vehicles for some time, as governments across the world pass legislation to tackle climate change. Ford, for example, said last year that its consumer vehicles will be totally electric by 2030, while General Motors wants to eliminate emissions from all new “light-duty vehicles” by 2035.
