US EditionEurope Reconsiders Its 2035 Ban on Gasoline Cars
The European Commission may delay the 2035 combustion engine sales ban by about five years due to pressure from member states and automakers facing EV market challenges.
- On Tuesday, the European Commission is expected to reverse or ease the 2023 decision ending sales of new CO2-emitting cars and vans in 2035, undoing the EU's effective ban.
- Automakers and some member states argue European automakers like Volkswagen and Stellantis face lagging consumer demand, insufficient charging infrastructure, and pressure from Germany and Italy to allow hybrids after 2035.
- Officials are hashing out measures such as postponing the ban by five years or softening CO2 targets indefinitely, while automakers want phased 55% car emission cuts and to drop the vans target.

- Policymakers are weighing options such as e-fuels, low-carbon steel counting toward CO2 cuts, Belgium-style subsidies, and Todd Anderson's call for a `multi-technology approach`.
