The number of discontented people continues to grow roadmap defined by the European Union for the transition to electric mobility. In recent days, much controversy has been generated over the statements of a German minister who has expressed his disagreement. Now, led by Italy, an important group of European countries is asking to postpone the end of thermal cars.
It is important to remember that the EU has set the end of the production of petrol and diesel cars in 2035. The ban will also affect vehicles capable of using synthetic fuels. Is it possible to change this ambitious strategic plan? Italy, Bulgaria, Portugal, Romania and Slovakia wish to postpone the given stability by the EU.
In the text presented jointly by these EU member states, it is stated that this postponement seeks to avoid “disproportionate and unnecessary costs for both the automotive sector and consumers”. The ambassadors of the member countries of the discordant group presented the aforementioned text last Friday. This proposes to impose a 90% reduction in emissions for individual new car sales in 2035. Il new goal is to reach zero emissions in 2040.
“Achieving zero-emission mobility will require overcoming several obstacles. First of all, increase the charging infrastructures, develop the production of batteries, improve current technologies in an economically advantageous way, introduce incentives for consumers ”, reads the document. It should also be noted that it will take some time for the industrial ecosystem, with its dense network of subcontractors and SMEs, to adapt to new components and technologies.
In the future, according to Brussels, there is only room for battery electric cars and / or hydrogen fuel cells. The rest of the technologies will have no place in the passenger car market. A position that caused great discomfort when it was announced in 2021. In fact, this roadmap ultimately meant the death of hybrid (HEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) cars.
