The topic has been on the table for some time. Indeed, the main European authorities have been discussing the topic of banning the sale of thermal cars for several years. If they have been building up measures against this type of motoring for a long time, accusing it of polluting the environment and being responsible for all the evils, then they want to go further. That is why Europe decided to take a more radical measure, voting for a complete ban on the sale of internal combustion cars on the territory. from 2035.

The eastern district of Saint-Rambert on the street@A7Traffic from July 18 will offer 2 electric charging stations for refrigerators. It is an economical, ecological and quiet alternative to noisy and polluting diesel generators. https://t.co/YF2YFVSF5Q

Additional confirmation

But if The European Commission did confirm the measure, this did not necessarily mean that it would take effect. Indeed, as in all administrations, it takes time and, above all, many steps before an idea becomes law. And this is also on a European scale. But if there was still a small hope that this ban would not finally see the light of day, then European Parliament those who remained were finally doused. Indeed, the latter finally voted for this measure as well, keeping the deadline until 2035. A new stage, but the course is not yet complete.

A long journey

Indeed, if the MEPs voted for this law with 340 votes “for” and 279 “against”, then it is still far from being completed. Because it still has to be considered Council of the European Union. After he has considered the matter, we can truly say that the decision is firm and final. Thus, thermal cars will indeed be banned in Europe in the coming years, although the review clause is scheduled for 2026.
