Italy demands EU rethink 2035 combustion engine ban. Check details

Italian officials are calling for a review of the European Union’s plan to ban sales of new internal combustion engines by 2035. They believe the ban is absurd and driven by ideology, and that it should be changed to reflect market realities. They argue that electric vehicles should be part of a broader mix of automotive propulsion systems. This stance is supported by industry leaders who are concerned about the impact on the European auto industry, as companies like Stellantis and Volkswagen are already facing challenges. The officials are pushing for a more pragmatic approach to ensure the industry’s survival.
