Germany's Opposition to Petrol Ban Delays EU's Move Towards Fossil Fuel Car Ban
TL;DR Summary
The European Commission has drafted a proposal to create a new vehicle category in the EU for cars that can only run on carbon neutral e-fuels, allowing sales of new combustion engine cars after 2035. The proposal could resolve a dispute with Germany, which has demanded that the EU allow sales of new cars running on e-fuels after 2035. The German Transport Ministry is examining the proposal, which requires cars to recognise CO2-neutral fuels from fossil fuels, as it would largely force automakers to develop new engines.
