# The EU drops the ban on new combustion vehicles in 2035 and eases its CO2 rules

> The ban on sales of new petrol or diesel cars after 2035 has been dropped, with the European Parliament voting to ease CO2 rules allowing a limited share of new combustion vehicles after that date. Brussels is also considering reducing the emissions reduction target and opening a category of neutral fuels, making the timeline for the end of new combustion vehicles across the European market more uncertain. Positions vary by country: in Germany, a taskforce calls for a revision of CO2 rules; in France, a Member of the European Parliament defends the automotive package and rejects a return to combustion; in Italy, Motus-E welcomes the maintenance of a high electrification ambition while ANFIA welcomes the flexibility. In the United Kingdom, an expert estimates that manufacturers would maintain their electric shift despite a delay in combustion.

**Key terms**

- **Euro standard**: European Union regulation setting maximum pollutant emission limits for new motor vehicles; several exist depending on vehicle type, and these standards become progressively stricter to reduce air pollution from road transport. ([Wikipédia](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norme_europ%C3%A9enne_d%27%C3%A9missions))
- **Electric vehicle**: A means of transport whose propulsion is provided exclusively by one or more electric motors, drawing energy from onboard resources such as an electric battery or an external source. ([Wikipédia](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A9hicule_%C3%A9lectrique))
- **Synthetic fuel**: A blend of hydrocarbons not derived from petroleum, obtained from another source such as coal, lignite or natural gas, for example via the gas-to-liquids process. ([Wikipédia](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essence_synth%C3%A9tique))
- **Carbon neutrality**: A global state of balance between human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and their removal from the atmosphere by humans or as a result of human activity, with the difference between emitted and extracted gases then equal to zero; it is also referred to as "net zero emissions". ([Wikipédia](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutralit%C3%A9_carbone))
