European Union allows combustion engines after 2035 with conditions

The European Commission will allow internal combustion engines after 2035, reversing a previous ban. This decision follows significant pressure from automakers and some member states. The new policy permits combustion engines only if they run on low-emission fuels like synthetic fuels and biofuels. This aims to reduce environmental impact while acknowledging industry concerns. This change comes after lobbying, particularly from Germany, highlighting issues with electric vehicle infrastructure and cost. The EU is now considering all technological advancements for a climate-neutral transition.
