European Parliament Members have voted to prohibit the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035. The EU assembly voted in Strasbourg, France to require automakers to cut carbon-dioxide emissions by 100 percent by the middle of the next decade. The mandate would amount to a prohibition on the sale in the 27-nation bloc of new cars powered by gasoline or diesel.
Aim: To fight against climate change.
EU lawmakers also endorsed a 55% reduction in CO2 from automobiles in 2030 compared with 2021.
