There is an exception to the end of sales of diesel cars in 2035, voted by the European Parliament: luxury cars (Ferrari, etc.). Of course, there are not many of them, so the emissions will be limited, but for the symbol and social justice will have to be ironed pic.twitter.com/6gPS9lc6ZE

If the end of the year celebration is usually synonymous with joy and celebration with family or friends, it is also a period when new activities are born. In addition to the well-known good resolutions, January 1 is also the date of choice government to enforce all kinds of new laws. And in recent years, they rarely please. A trend that will obviously continue in 2023, when the car will be particularly affected. Among the already planned measures is an increase in the environmental fine, even more severe, which will punish almost all new diesel locomotives.
Europe has agreed to phase out the use of heat engines by 2035. However, the fuel tax is an important source of revenue for the French state. https://t.co/M17WH4kOC3

New super penalty
Indeed, the trigger threshold will now be lower since it will go from from 128 g/km to 123 g/km CO2. This progressive tax, which starts at €50, will therefore now affect more cars. That’s not all, as the super malus also sees an increase in the amount, going from €40,000 in 2022 to 50,000 euros next year. It is still limited to 50% of the car’s price. Soothes! Thus, it is not possible to pay more taxes than the amount of the newly purchased car. However, sports cars will take a serious hit with this measure. But not only.
new models
Indeed, models that were previously exempt from penalties will now be subject to this tax. This is especially true of the Citroën C3, starting at the entry level, equipped with a small gasoline engine with a capacity of 83 horsepower. On the other hand, the Renault Clio is completely exempt, and only the 100-horsepower Peugeot 208 GT. This new taxation will also affect the entire Dacia Duster range, as well as Peugeot 2008 petrol models. It also applies to Toyota RAV4except for the plug-in hybrid version.
While the European Union banned the sale of internal combustion cars from 2035, France still practices “terminal hunting”. Educational review@oubertalli. #OnEstNotSortisDesRonces https://t.co/uT3qUEjNe6
