E-fuels u-turn: EU allows combustion cars to be sold after 2035

The European Union has stepped back from its plan to ban all combustion-engined cars from 2035, under pressure from Germany and Italy.
A new agreement will see the creation of a class of cars that can only run on carbon-neutral e-fuels after the Germans dug their heels in. It’s the second time that the EU has had to backtrack on its ambition to axe all ICE vehicles, having previously agreed to an exemption for low-volume car makers. That ruling permits brands which manufacture less than 1,000 cars a year to continue to be powered by petroleum products.
