Stop petrol cars from 2035: the European Parliament is working on revising the ban

A first step to get out of the chaos, but also the awareness of a demand for electric cars which in the European Union, despite a growth of 15.3% compared to the same month of 2025, in April did not exceed 19.7% of the market. This is what the proposal presented to the Environment Commission of European Parliament and which has the aim of substantially modifying the community law which from 2023 provides for the blocking of the sale of vehicles with combustion engines starting from January 1, 2035. Last December the same European Commission led by Ursula von der Leyen could not help but hypothesize the transition from the expected 100% electric mobility to a percentage of 90%, in principle leaving room for the marketing of cars with internal combustion engines. Now the European Parliament is starting to organize the amendment process more concretely.
