An official institutional document has yet to be released; however, Brussels's reversal on the exclusive use of electric vehicles beyond 2035 is corroborated by statements from the EU Transport Commissioner, Greek Apostolos Tzitzikostas. In an interview with the German newspaper Handelsblatt, the commissioner claimed that automobiles powered by internal combustion engines will continue to be sold after 2035. As is well known, the present EU law on CO2 emissions from automobiles states that within 10 years, only new models with zero tailpipe emissions will be sold, effectively meaning only battery-powered vehicles. This is the "all-electric" approach, as opposed to the "technological neutrality" favored by numerous EU members, including Italy and Germany. The European Commission is developing a proposal to amend the regulation governing electric vehicles, in response to the increasing pressure in recent months from governments and industry associations, united by their efforts to preserve the combustion engine sector. Italy advocates for increased adoption of biofuels, whereas Germany promotes expanding the use of synthetic fuels derived from renewable sources (e-fuels). According to Tzitzikostas, as reported by the German daily, Brussels will consider "all technological advances" when upgrading car emissions standards, including internal combustion engines fuelled by e-fuels and biofuels.
