Breton: ‘Combustion engines have a future beyond 2035’

EU Industry Commissioner Thierry Breton campaigns for internal combustion engine technology beyond 2035. Manufacturers should continue to produce internal combustion engine vehicles in Europe and export them to other markets even after the ban in the EU, which is set to take effect in 2035. „After the internal combustion engine phase-out in 2035, the European car industry must be able to sell technically advanced and clean internal combustion engine vehicles to markets in Asia, especially China, but also Latin America and Africa,“ Breton said in an interview with Europe.Table and other media. „Europe is not an island, manufacturers have every reason to continue investing in research and improvement of the proven technology of the internal combustion engine.“
