According to a press release from European Parliament, the European Union voted to have no new cars emit C02 by 2035, effectively giving all automakers a timeline to get in shape and start making EVs. By 2025, the European Union plans to start mapping C02 data throughout the lifespan of a car.
It’s important to note that this bill has a few stipulations. It only applies to passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Separate legislation, also passed today, wants to curtail carbon dioxide emissions almost entirely for diesel trucks by 2040. The law also gives a grace period to small automakers (between 1,000 and 10,000 annual cars produced or 1,000 to 22,000 vans produced) until the end of 2035. Very small manufacturers that make less than 1,000 cars a year are exempt from the ruling.
The legislation notes that every two years after 2025, the EU will re-evaluate and see how it’s proceeding towards its goals. As of now, there is no word as to how this will be enforced or if European automakers have any comment.
