EU to Ban Fossil Fuel Cars, Slash Truck and Bus Emissions
TwitterWhatsappLinkedin

The European Union officially stamps its approval to ban all new sales of ICE vehicles from 2035. Also further proposed new targets to reduce the C02 emissions from city buses and trucks from 2030 onward. Banning ICE vehicles is a landmark bill that was already approved last year, but needed final approvals. In the entire 27-country bloc, the ban will be seen.

In the latest revision of documents, it seems that there will be a 55% cut in CO2 emission for new cars from 2030 vs.2021. Earlier the target was 37.5%. There are a couple of caveats: For one, the law only addresses new cars, not the second-hand market, meaning that a brand-new ICE vehicle bought in 2034 will still be legal to drive in 2035 and onward. Given the life cycle of most cars is about 10 to 15 years or so, that’s not good news when it comes to meeting climate goals. The final deal also includes a workaround for smaller carmakers producing less than 10,000 vehicles a year to meet weaker targets until 2036.

While there has been pushback from the auto industry over the past year, most European car manufacturers are already on board with plans to heavily invest in electrification, including Volkswagen’s commitment to only produce electric cars in Europe from 2033. Others, such as Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, and Jaguar, have already begun shifting their global production strategies toward an all-electric future.

Cutting down CO2 emissions

The European Commission has also turned its eye toward cutting greenhouse emissions from the transport section, with an aim to phase in stronger CO2 emissions standards for all new heavy-duty vehicles, including city buses and long-haul trucks, and gradually shift to zero emissions in the coming years. The plan, announced yesterday, suggests a 45% emissions reduction from 2030, then a 65% emission reduction from 2035 to 90% from 2040. Yet, the plan is a tad more aggressive for city buses, requiring zero-emissions standards by 2030.

As is, heavy-duty vehicles account for more than 6% of total EU greenhouse gases and more than 25% of all greenhouse gas emissions from road transport. It’s early days for the proposal, with legislators already debating the potential loss of employment for hundreds of thousands of people in the ICE industry and the rising electricity costs, with centrist and conservative leaders asking for a rethink of the truck ban. The time it takes for European legislation to take form is tediously slow, to say the least, requiring endless debate and revisions, and the clock is ticking, but the fact a law of this scale continues through the labyrinth of required approvals is good news. European consumers are ready, and already claim 25% of global EV sales.
