Europe formally approved a law to ban the sale of fuel cars from 2035.
In an effort to hasten the switch to electric vehicles, the European Parliament officially approved a rule banning the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in the European Union beginning in 2035.
This means that no new fossil fuel-powered vehicles will be allowed to be sold in the 27-nation union.
By 2035, carmakers must achieve a 100% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from newly sold vehicles, according to the new legislation, which is a component of a larger EU effort to combat climate change.
Parliament has approved the new CO2 emissions reduction targets for new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles as part of the EU’s Fit for 55 package.

The automotive bill, which was approved by the European Parliament in Strasbourg, has supporters who claim it will encourage investment to fend off competition from China and the United States and provide European automakers with a clear deadline for switching to the production of electric vehicles.
According to Tech Crunch, Many vehicle makers have already started to get ready for this change.
Volkswagen announced last year that by the year 2033, the firm will only manufacture EVs in Europe.
Audi also announced that it would stop making gasoline and diesel vehicles by 2033.
