The end of the combustion engine is drawing closer. A majority of the European Parliament backed the EU Commission’s proposal. There is criticism from the EPP Group.

In the end, the majorities were relatively clear: 339 MEPs voted in favor of banning new cars with combustion engines in 2035, with 249 against and 24 abstentions. „An ambitious revision of CO2- standards is a crucial element to reach our climate targets,“ said a pleased rapporteur Jan Huitema (Renew). This would provide clarity for the car industry and stimulate innovation and investment.
