欧盟：将放弃2035年燃油车禁令

Core Viewpoint - The European Commission is preparing to abandon the "2035 internal combustion engine ban," which would have completely prohibited the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles in the EU starting in 2035 [1]. Group 1: Policy Changes - The EU will lower the standards for banning the sale of gasoline and diesel new cars starting in 2035, allowing some plug-in hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles with fuel range extenders to be sold [2]. - The new proposal requires a 90% reduction in automotive exhaust emissions by 2035 compared to the current target of 100% reduction [2]. Group 2: Industry Response - European automakers are struggling to compete with Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers like Tesla and BYD, prompting this significant policy shift [3]. - Major manufacturers such as Volkswagen and Stellantis have been advocating for the EU to relax green targets and penalties, marking a critical moment for the automotive industry [3]. Group 3: Electric Vehicle Industry Concerns - The electric vehicle industry argues that this move will weaken investments in electric vehicles and further delay the EU's transition to electric mobility, potentially falling behind China [4]. - Executives from companies like Polestar express that retreating from a clear 100% zero-emission target to 90% could harm both climate goals and European competitiveness [4]. Group 4: Future Initiatives - The EU plans to refine initiatives to promote the share of electric vehicles in corporate fleets, which account for about 60% of new car sales in Europe [4]. - There may be proposals for a new regulatory category for small electric vehicles, which would incur lower taxes and earn additional credits towards carbon emission targets [4].
