Timmermans: Combustion engine phase-out will not be reversed

Frans Timmermans, EU Commission Vice President in charge of the Green Deal, warns against casting political doubt on the 2035 phase-out of the internal combustion engine. In a guest article for several media outlets, he wrote that the EU Commission would not reverse the internal combustion phase-out in the review scheduled for 2026: „Review clauses are in every EU law.“ The review of CO2 fleet limits will only be about „how we reach 2035, not whether we still want to reach it,“ Timmermans said.
