US EditionEU Urged by Green Group to Stick to 2035 Combustion Engine Ban or Risk 1 Million Jobs
EUROPEAN UNION, JUL 7 – Abandoning the 2035 zero-emission car goal could cost Europe 1 million jobs and reduce the automotive sector's economic contribution by €90 billion, industry studies warn.
- The European Commission has launched a review of its 2035 petrol and diesel car ban amid debates over potentially weakening the zero-emission target.
- Amid rising costs, global competition, and U.S. tariffs, EU lawmakers consider softening the 2035 petrol and diesel ban, prompting a review of the zero-emission target.
- Transport & Environment's analysis projects that reversing the 2035 ban could slash the EU automotive sector's contribution by €90 billion, risking up to 1 million jobs and two-thirds of battery investments.
- EU automakers withdraw 2025 forecasts amid policy review, risking reduced EV investment and market leadership.
- Projections suggest maintaining the 2035 zero-emission goal could boost Europe's auto value chain by 11%, produce 900 GWh of batteries annually by 2030, and help meet climate commitments, whereas a rollback would hinder these targets.
