Keep up with the EU Italy officially announces that it will stop selling petrol cars in 2035

The EU’s proposal to ban the sale of gasoline vehicles in 2035 ushered in another key vote. Recently, the Italian government officially announced that it will completely stop sales of fuel vehicles in 2035. This move follows the same route as the major European countries, and it also means that Italy has formally adopted the previous EU initiative.

In fact, just a few months ago, Italy was still defending the extension of the EU’s proposal to stop the sale of fuel vehicles, hoping to postpone its implementation for a few more years. After the meeting of the Inter-ministerial Committee on Ecological Transformation, the government formally made this decision. The EU has previously proposed that in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, it is recommended to ban the sale of fuel vehicles throughout Europe by 2035, in the EU’s view. As long as all member states vote for this proposal in the near future, there will be enough time for countries and manufacturers to adapt to this radical change.

This decision will have a significant impact on Italian car manufacturers. For the two world-renowned Italian supercar brands, Ferrari and Lamborghini, although they are also embarking on the electrification transformation, they must achieve 100% in the short term. Electrification is not an easy task. It has previously been reported that Italy is negotiating with the European Union to protect supercar manufacturers such as Ferrari and Lamborghini from the ban on internal combustion engines, and the ban on their fuel vehicles may be about to come. It will not be officially implemented until 2040.
