We know that thermal cars have not gained popularity for several years. And it is not for nothing that the latter are accused of all vices, and in particular of active participation in global warming. Thus, the state authorities have embarked on a large-scale witch hunt and are trying by all means to reduce the presence of these cars on the roads. That is why the latter will be banned for sale in Europe from 2035. But Brussels also wants to deal with internal combustion cars before that deadline, tightening the screws more and more.

WARNING! Since 2015 and the appearance of Crit’Air stickers, traffic restrictions apply to some vehicles in large cities. Shall we summarize together? 🚙 #MyProjectMoreResponsible

Opposing countries

Thus the European Union wants to put into effect the new Euro 7 standard from 2025, which forced manufacturers to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in their thermal cars. But the measure does not seem to really excite the latter or even the member states. The latter are currently under discussion and it is possible that the implementation of this new standard will eventually be delayed. Because currently no less than eight countries opposeincluding France, which is campaigning for a reprieve.

Several arguments

Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire explains that producers will rather be interested in mobilizing their financial resources for electrify your models. In addition, the implementation of this standard is also very expensive, and it risks increasing the prices of new cars. However, they are already expensive, and motorists do not necessarily have the funds to keep up. Therefore, it would be better to act according to the opponents of this measure.
