"Laws to ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2035 are to be dropped, in a major U-turn by the EU on what was a key part of its green agenda."
"It means the Irish Government will be under no obligation to meet its objective of ensuring a third of the total car fleet is electric by 2030."
The EU has abandoned the proposed law to ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2035. The decision marks a major reversal from a previously central element of EU climate policy. As a result, national targets that relied on that law are no longer legally binding. The Irish Government will therefore have no obligation to ensure that one third of the national car fleet is electric by 2030. The change will affect EV adoption timelines, regulatory certainty, automaker strategies, and projected emissions from the transport sector.
