The European Parliament formally approved a law to ban the sale of new gas and diesel cars in the European Union from 2035, in a bid to achieve net-zero carbon-dioxide emissions from vehicles.
The new legislation is part of the E.U.’s broader climate ambitions, with the aim of achieving a 100 percent reduction in emissions for new passenger cars and vans by 2035 within the E.U.’s 27-country bloc.
Classic and other older cars, including diesel cars, will be allowed to be driven until the end of their lifetimes, according to information on the European Parliament website.
The law also includes targets for reducing emissions by 55 percent for cars and 50 percent for vans by 2030….
