Stop petrol and diesel car production by 2035

Stop the production of petrol and diesel cars by 2035. On the occasion of the fourth meeting of the Cite, the Interministerial Committee for Ecological Transition, the Ministers of Ecological Transition Roberto Cingolani, of Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility Enrico Giovannini and of Economic Development Giancarlo Giorgetti , “the timing for replacing vehicles with internal combustion engines was defined, deciding, in line with most advanced countries, that the phase out of new cars with internal combustion engines must take place by 2035, while for vans and light commercial transport vehicles by 2040 “, announces the Ministry of Ecological Transition. In this process, explains Mite, “it is necessary to implement all the functional solutions for the decarbonisation of transport in a logic of ‘technological neutrality’, thus enhancing not only electric vehicles but also the potential of hydrogen, as well as recognizing, for the transition, the essential role of biofuels, in which Italy is building a state-of-the-art domestic supply chain. As for niche manufacturers, specific measures could possibly be evaluated with the European Commission within the Community rules “.
