Another decisive step towards the implementation of electric motors in European markets.
The German Federal Council (representing 16 local states) recently presented to the European Commission a proposal to ban the sale of vehicles with an internal combustion engine from 2030 onwards, in a way to encourage zero-emission mobility in the European territory.Although it has no legal effect, this directive will serve as yet another strong element to put pressure not only on European legislators in Brussels but also on brands and technological development. In addition to having the strongest European economy, Germany is home to some of the most important car brands – Volkswagen, Porsche, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Opel, etc.
NOT TO BE MISSED: Volkswagen EA 48: the model that could have changed the history of the automotive industry
The idea is that from 2030 onwards, vehicles with “zero emissions” will begin to be sold exclusively, and the models produced up to that date will continue to be able to circulate in Europe. Until then, one of the solutions may include tax increases on gasoline/diesel vehicles, as well as incentives for alternative mobility.
