The automobile industry around the world is now taking strides in improving electric vehicle. In view of the protection of the environment and limited reserves of conventional fuel, now preparations have been started for the ban on cars running on petrol-diesel. Meanwhile, news of taking a big step by the European Union is also coming to the fore. European Union countries have agreed to completely ban the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles in their countries by 2035.
An agreement has been reached to ban sale of new combustion engine cars in EU by 2035. The agreement was agreed on Thursday night between EU negotiators.
This is the first agreement of ‘Fit for 55’ package
This is the first agreement in this decade in the ‘Fit for 55’ package set up by the European Commission to achieve targets to cut emissions of gases that cause global warming. The European Parliament said the agreement was “a clear sign ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference that the EU is serious about adopting concrete legislation to reach the more ambitious goals set out in its climate legislation”.
According to EU data, transport is the only sector where greenhouse gas emissions have increased over the past three decades. Transport emissions have increased by 33.5 percent between 1990 and 2019. Passenger cars play an important role in spreading pollution. Passenger cars account for 61 percent of the total CO emissions from road transport in the EU.
Climate neutrality goal by 2050
According to head of the European Parliament’s Environment Committee, ‘This is a landmark decision as it defines for the first time a clear zero-carbon emissions path with targets in 2025, 2030 and 2035. This is aligned with our goal of climate neutrality by 2050.’
