Petrol Car Sales Ban Eu

The European Parliament voted on Tuesday to approve a ban on new sales of carbon-emitting petrol and diesel cars by 2035, clearing the final legislative hurdle.

The European Union last month proposed an effective ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2035 as part of its measures to combat global warming, posing a challenge to automakers that have made powerful engines a key selling point.

The German Government, the Bundesrat, or the house that represents all the 16 German states has voted to ban the sale of any petrol or diesel powered vehicle from the year 2030. This ban will follow a set of higher taxes for internal combustion engines that will aid to hasten their departure.
