Spain will ban the sale of gasoline and diesel cars in 2035

The vehicles that use fossil fuels like gasoline and diesel have an expiration date. The European Union has set a date for the gasoline and diesel cars abandon public roads and, unfortunately, there are not many years left before this arrives, so the situation is worrying.

The year for this to happen is 2035, Although the process is already underway. What the European Union wants is for this type of vehicle to stop being marketed once and for all and have a 55% reduction by 2030. Five more years, in 2035, a total reduction in this sale of vehicles is expected.

The proposal has been approved by the European Parliament after the agreement reached by the Commission and the European Council. The news has been celebrated by fans of electric cars and criticized by the general public. And, it is that, the sale of so much will be prohibited cars as diesel and gasoline vans from 2035.

By prohibiting this sale, they have to offer alternatives that are similar both in price and performance with the problem that electric cars are still far from this perspective. What is sought behind this new measure is to regulate the emissions of this type of private vehicle.

The sale of gasoline and diesel cars has an end date of 2035

The aim is to reduce CO2 emissions by 55% for new cars and 50% in the case of new vans by comparing the data that will be obtained in 2023 with that generated in 2021. From 2035 It is intended to reduce by 100% these emissions for new cars and vans.

How does this new measure affect the general public? At a general level, it is difficult to understand the scope that this ban will have and, in fact, it may be something too big to see the impact today. What is clear is that options of some kind have to be offered, such as a better public transport network.

The reduction of emissions is above the mobility of users and this means that, although it is a good proposal, the way in which it ends up being carried out depends a lot on its management. We will have to wait until 2035 to see if this ecological transition has paid off and, above all, if emissions have been reduced.
