[EU to Relax New Car Emission Standards, Adjust 2035 Ban on Gasoline and Diesel Vehicles] ⑴ Under months of pressure from the automotive industry, the EU is about to propose relaxing new car emission standards, effectively lifting the ban on internal combustion engines. ⑵ According to sources, the European Commission will lower the requirement to stop the sale of new gasoline and diesel vehicles from 2035, instead allowing the sale of various plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles equipped with fuel-powered range extenders. ⑶ Sources indicate that under the new proposal, vehicle emissions will need to be reduced by 90% by the middle of the next decade, compared to the current target of 100%. ⑷ The European Commission will set a condition requiring automakers to offset increased pollution by using low-carbon, renewable fuels or locally produced green steel.
