- The European Parliament has voted to phase out combustion engines entirely by 2035.
- This is a significant step forward for climate action, air quality and affordability of electric vehicles.
- “Phasing out combustion engines is also a historic opportunity to help end our oil dependence and make us safer from despots. And it gives the certainty the car industry needs to ramp up production of electric vehicles, which will drive down prices for drivers,” said Alex Keynes, the clean vehicles manager at T&E.
