The governments of France and Germany want to postpone the planned ban on internal combustion engines, which the EU seems to be preparing for 2035.

While some manufacturers are already slowly announcing a date when they will stop introducing new models with internal combustion engines, the European Union has not yet commented on their ban. However, it is generally assumed that they will soon announce their planned ban from 2035. But the governments of France and Germany will probably try to fight this date.
An unnamed official from the office of French President Emmanuel Macron was supposed to reveal in an interview with Automotive News that the French government is going to enforce lower emission limits, which should ultimately extend the life of internal combustion engines. The goal is also to ensure a longer existence of plug-in hybrid drives.

According to recent speculation, the EU will try to push for a 65 percent reduction in current emissions by 2030, but the French government should push for a 55 percent reduction in emissions over the same period. The fight for the longer existence of plug-in hybrids does not correspond to the alleged European plan, which wants to introduce zero emission tolerance for new vehicles from 2035.
Andreas Scheuer, Germany’s transport minister, then indicated in an interview with the German news agency DPA that he would also try to push for a slower tightening of emission limits. “I believe that all car and truck manufacturers are aware of the arrival of stricter limits. But these must be technically achievable,“Said Scheuer. According to him, longer tolerances of plug-in hybrids should also apply, and at the same time greater emphasis should be placed on hydrogen technology.

At the same time, we should not be surprised by the efforts of France or Germany – both countries are among the largest manufacturers of cars and car components in Europe. In addition, an accelerated transition to electromobility could mean a major loss of jobs. The French organization la Plateforme Automobile even estimates that up to half of the people in the French car industry could lose their jobs.
However, the fight for a longer existence of internal combustion engines will obviously not be easy. The governments of France and Germany will face great pressure to take stronger environmental measures, as current targets for combating climate change are not being met.
