Senior industry leaders have confirmed that Brussels will revise its 2035 ban on the sale of cars powered by internal combustion engines, although the timing of the announcement is yet to be confirmed.
“I have it on good authority that the EU is going to add five years on to the current 2035 to make the date 2040, Which would mean that from January 1, 2040, all new vehicles would need to be pure electric,” said Tim Tozer, UK chairman of the insurer and roadside-assistance firm Allianz Partners, and former country head of Vauxhall, Mazda and Mitsubishi.
So the only thing that is confirmed is that there will be a revision.
The rest is “senior industry leaders” spreading rumor that suits them.
That said, the scenario unfortunately isn’t unrealistic with Germany going the way it’s going right now, and the EU-wide ongoing USA bootlicking.
