While the European Union plans to ban thermal cars in 2035, France and Germany are asking for a bit of a reprieve.
And if the car internal combustion was no more than a distant memory, of a definitively bygone era? Admittedly, we are not there yet, but it is nevertheless the wish of the European Union. And for good reason, the latter recently announced the ban on the sale of thermal cars, as well as hybrid models by 2035. A relatively short deadline, which is far from unanimous. To the general public, of course, but above all to manufacturers, many of whom have nevertheless announced their desire to switch to all-electric in the coming years.
Popular synthetic fuels
While most countries have accepted this decision, this is however not the case for France and Germany, which wish to negotiate with the European Union in order to benefit from a reprieve. Bruno Le Maire, the current Minister of the Economy, has in particular stated that he wants to extend the sale of hybrid cars. A measure also supported by Germany, which claims that these constitute an “intermediate solution” allowing customers to have ” a first experience with electric ».
Furthermore, our neighbors across the Rhine are also favorable to the development of alternative fuels. Transport Minister Volker Wissing asserts that ” we want combustion engines to remain an option, if they run exclusively on synthetic fuels ».
