Most automakers EU ko bol rahe hai ki 2035 wala combustion engine ban hata do. Unka point bhi sahi hai, charging infrastructure abhi itna strong nahi hai or EVs kaafi expensive bhi padti hai. Upar se, agar sirf electric cars banani padi, toh industry mein thousands of jobs ka risk ho sakta hai.
For thoda time tak EU bilkul apne stand se backfoot nahi le raha tha. Is saal ke spring tak bhi wohi cut-off date confirm chal rahi thi. But ab pressure badhne laga, or finally legislation change hone ki taraf jaa raha hai, means combustion engines ab mid-2030s ke baad bhi chalenge. Lagta hai German Chancellor Friedrich Merz ka letter European Commission ki President Ursula von der Leyen ko kaafi convince kar gaya, or iske baad hi unhone ban se backfoot par aana start kiya.
In German business newspaper Handelsblatt ke interview mein (subscription chahiye hota hai), Sustainable Transport & Tourism ke Commissioner ne bola unka letter Brussels mein "kaafi accha recieve hua."
Apostolos Tzitzikostas ne confirm bhi kiya ki 2035 ke baad bhi bhi combustion engines chalenge, but sirf un cars mein jo low-emission, renewable fules jaise sythetic fuel or biofuel pe chalti ho.
Ek relevant example hai HVO100, yeh pura hydrotreated vegetable oil se banta hai, jo vegetable oils or animal fats se derive hota hai. BMW Germany mein apni diesel cars ko HVO100 se fuel karti hai, or claim yeh hai ki yeh regular diesel ke comparison mein emissions ko 90% tak reduce kar sakta hai.
Synthetic petrol bhi ek option ho sakta hai, theoretically ye normal petrol ke comparison me emissions ko 90% tak kam kar sakta hai. Porsche kaafi saalon se efuel ke upar kaam kar raha hai. 2022 ke end se Chile me unka ek plant bhi chalta hai jahan ye log paani or carbon dioxide ko wind energy ke trough process karke synthetic fuel bana rahe hai. Bola jaata hai ki South America wale site par ye efuel approx. carbon-neutral method se produce hota hai.
EU pehle 10 December ko apne new measures announce karne wali thi, par ab yeh so- called "car package" is month ke end tak delay ho gaya hai. Ab dekhna hai ki 2035 ke baad pulg-in hybrids chalti rahengi ya nahi, or range-extended engines wali cars ko allow kiya jayega ya nahi.
Agar hum ICE cars ki sales sirf un models tak limit kar dein jo kam harnful fuel par chalti hai, toh maybe pehle bataye gaye jobs bachna mushkil ho.
Lage hi nahi raha ki synthetic or biofuel ke liye jitni badi infrastructure chahiye, woh sirf 9 saal me ready ho paayegi, kaafi unrealistic lagta hai.
Jo bhi ho, EU ka decision sirf new cars ki sales par apply hota hai. Toh tum apni already-owned car me normal petrol ya diesel aaram se use kar sakte ho.
Meanwhile, Evs ka craze all over 27 EU member countries mein increase ho raha hai. Saath hi U.K, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland mein bhi. Year ke pehle 10 months mein, combustion engine ke bina wali cars total sales ka around 18.3% share le liye hai, according to latest ACEA data.
But abhi EVs ko hybrids ko beat karne mein time lagega, beacause hybrids ka share as of now 34.7% hai. Plug-in hybrids bhi kaafi momentum pakad rahe hai, October tak unka share 9.4% tak pahunch gaya, or first time diesels se zyada sell ho rahi hai.
Apostolos Tzitzikostas ke according, EU ka goal hai ki future mein climate-neutral vehicles par shift ko economically sahi or socially fair banaya ja sake. Vo saari new technologies consider kar rahe emissions reduce karne ke liye, even kam-polluting combustion engines bhi option mein hai.
Zyada automakers toh is ban ko oppose kar rahe hai, but kuch companies bol rahi hai ki EU ko apna original plan follow karna chahiye or petrol engine wali new cars ki sale band hi karni chahiye. Volvo or Polestar dono Geely ke under aati hai, chahte hai ki 2035 wali ban waise hi continue rahe.
