People in fossil cars must be affected to the extent of the economy. In any case, a new proposal from the EU Commission is going to hurt.
Starting in 2027, it must gradually be more expensive for motorists to drive in a car, at least if that car runs on fossil fuel.
That is what the EU Commission proposes.
In Brussels, the elected officials want all member states to follow a so-called quota system for CO2 and thus also fossil fuels.
EU politicians want to tighten the union's climate targets in 2040. The Danish government already estimates that this scheme alone will make a liter of petrol 1.09 more expensive in 2030.
The one kroner plus the loose may not sound like much. But the increase must be added to the increases that have already come into effect and which will come into effect towards 2030.
Back in December last year, the Danish interest organization FDM estimated that in 2030 it will cost over DKK 3,500 per year to drive a petrol car. When it comes to diesel cars, the "punishment" is a little milder – namely 'just' DKK 3,200.
The only thing motorists can count on is that the government is ready to relax a little on another tax. But only for diesel car owners.
The government wants to raise the taxes on a liter of diesel by a further 50 ore, in return for lowering the compensatory tax that diesel car owners pay in addition to the periodic tax.
Even vintage cars are not exempt from the taxes that already now and in the coming years will increase around just owning a car. Read more about it here .
