Car brands support an EU ban on cars from 2035

A number of European car brands will not object to the EU banning all new diesel and petrol cars in 2035, says the chairman of the ACEA organisation.

There will be no protest from the European car brands' organization ACEA when the EU plans to ban all new fossil-fuel cars in 2035.

This is what the chairman of the organization's chairman and the head of the Renault Group, Luca de Meo, tells us at the Geneva Motor Show this week.

Reuters writes that.

The car brands that are part of the organization believe, according to de Meo, that it is 'more than lax' to comply with the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in 2035.

Furthermore, Luca de Meo said that it is not up to ACEA members to argue against legislation and regulation.

– A ban on fossil-fuel cars in 2035 is possible, but the right conditions must be in place, explains de Meo.

And he is far from the only car boss who has demanded that the EU do something. Not for the motorists and for the car brands.

At Volkswagen, a Berling conference was used to demand support for electric cars from governments in striking terms.

At a conference in Berlin, the head of Volkswagen's work committee, Daniela Cavallo, chose to reach out strongly for the German government in particular.

If some euros are not put on the table, the head of the cooperation committee fears that the German car industry will not be able to reach the target of 15 million electric cars in Germany by 2030.

– Politicians must also support it (the electric cars, ed.). Not just making guidelines, Daniela Cavallo said on Monday this week.

Back at ACEA, however, there is not necessarily support for de Meo's withdrawal from all car brands with a European presence.

For example, Stellantis, the world's fourth largest car group, and Chinese Volvo Cars chose to leave the organization in 2022. Precisely because the partners could not agree on one climate strategy.
