Italy and the Czech Republic are urging the EU to reconsider the timeline for reviewing its 2035 ban on combustion engine cars, citing concerns about European auto industry competitiveness and the need for a broader range of clean energy solutions.
One of Europe’s biggest economies and car markets, Italy , has renewed its push to seek a revision of the European Union’s plans to ban the sales of new combustion-engine cars from 2035, a draft document seen by Bloomberg showed on Thursday. Italy and the Czech Republic have teamed up to call on EU officials to reconsider the timeline of a review of the regulation to 2025 instead of 2026.
“The industry is now at a critical juncture, facing significant challenges related to production, employment, and global competition, which require urgent and coordinated action at the EU level,” says the draft document. Last month, Germany’s car manufacturing giant BMW warned that an EU ban on the sale of gasoline and diesel cars from 2035 is “no longer realistic” amid slow EV sales as the European auto industry will see a “massive shrinking” with such a ban.
