Italy will lift the EU ban on fossil cars from 2035

– The ban must be changed, says Italy's energy minister Gilberto Fratin about the EU's planned ban on fossil-fuel cars in 2035.

The EU wants to have banned all fossil cars that cannot run on synthetic fuel by 2035 at the latest. But that law must be changed.

At least if you ask Italy's energy minister Gilberto Fratin. In connection with a speech on Thursday, the energy minister called the ban both 'absurd' and 'dictated by ideology'.

Bloomberg writes that.

Fratin's ministerial colleague in the Italian government, Adolfo Urso, backed that view. According to Urso, the new EU Commission needs to revise the law already at the beginning of 2025. So in just a few months.

– Europe needs a pragmatic view of things. We must recognize that the ideological view has failed, it says.

Italy's government representatives add that they are not directly against electric cars or their development. But the electric cars need to be only part of the solution. Not the only thing.

The attitude towards the ban on the internal combustion engine is far from new in Italy. Together with Germany, the country was among the EU members who put pressure on the union to get exceptions to the current ban through.

But some parties are ready to go very far against the ban already now. Matteo Salvini, chairman of the right-wing Lega party, will directly ask Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to lift the ban.

On the other hand, the German car manufacturers have recently called out that it is necessary to ban fossil fuels. So both petrol and diesel. Read more about it here .

All the while, gasoline prices are rattling down. And even somewhat closer to Denmark. For even years on the other side of the Øresund, petrol prices set record lows. A liter of E10 95-octane now costs just DKK 10.

At home, the price of petrol has also fallen to the lowest level since the New Year. But the price is still somewhat higher than in Sweden – namely around DKK 13 per litre.
