Goodbye diesel engine. From 2035, cars with internal combustion engines will no longer be sold in the European Union.
The ban is part of the EU's climate change package, called Fit for 55, which aims to cut harmful emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
The Czech Republic, which currently holds the EU presidency, said negotiators from member states, the European Parliament and the European Commission agreed to effectively ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2035, aiming to accelerate the transition to electricity and fight climate change.
Meanwhile, experts have expressed that such a thing seems quite difficult, as the agreement which aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 100% until 2050 in total is many times higher than the target that was set about a year ago of 37.5%.
"This agreement is good news for car drivers and new electric cars will become cheaper, making them more affordable and accessible for everyone," said the Parliament's chief negotiator, Jan Huitema. .
