Also fossil after 2035?
As of 2035, new cars that can only run on fossil fuels may no longer be sold in the EU. That is a thorn in the side of the Member State Poland. Poland is trying to stop it at the highest court in the EU.
For a long time it seemed that new fuel cars would be completely banned by 2035, but that was canceled at the last minute. An exception is made for cars that can run on synthetic fuels. In practice, that will probably only mean that manufacturers of exclusive cars, such as Ferrari, will continue after 2035. All still too strict, Poland thinks. That wants to sweep the entire 2035 plan off the table.
Poland’s climate minister, Anna Moskwa, says according to Reuters to challenge the decision taken earlier this year at the Court of Justice, the highest court in the EU. In conversation with Radio Zet Moskwa explains that she hopes that other member states will join. According to Poland, the ban on fuel engines as we know it today would have greater social and market consequences than assumed. This week, Poland is expected to appeal against the plans adopted earlier this year.
Poland often speaks strongly against climate plans of the European Union. It also joined a call from eight member states against the controversial Euro 7 emission standards. The other participating countries were France, Italy, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia.
