⛽Europe to ban new sales of petrol and diesel vehicles by 2035 as government accelerates the switch to zero-emission electric vehicles. ElectricCars MotoringWorld MotoringNews TheCitizenMotoring
But opponents argued that industry is not ready for such a dramatic cut off in production of internal combustion engine vehicles, and that hundreds of thousands of jobs are at risk.
“Our proposal is … to let the market decide what technology is our best to reach our goals,” said MEP Jens Gieseke, a member of the centre-right European People’s Party. Arguments from Green and socialist MEPs that electric cars are cheaper to run had been rendered “null and void” by the crisis of soaring energy costs, Gieseke declared.
“In Germany 600 000 people work on ICE production, those jobs are at risk,” he declared, urging the European Commission to rethink plans to also extend the ban to trucks and buses. Opponents also argue car batteries are produced abroad by Europe’s competitors like the United States, but Timmermans argued that thanks to EU-backed investment European production would increase.
