Stop Endothermy, European Union May Open to E-Fuels March 13, 2023 2

Negotiations to break deadlock on final vote stop selling new diesel locomotives from 2035 they continue. According to Automotive News Europe, EU will consider amending the rules to enable e-fuel exemption what Germany demands. Thus, one could continue to see endothermic vehicles running on this fuel even after 2035.

A proposal that was clearly created to “satisfy” some EU countries and, in particular, Germany. As we have seen in recent days, the German government has begun to express dismay at the end of the use of endothermy from 2035, demanding a retreat from the use of e-fuels. It is because of the position of Germany and some other countries such as Italy that the final vote on the endothermic shutdown of the EU Council was postponed. The vote, which the day before should have been nothing more than a formality.

Obviously, it will be necessary to understand whether this discovery will be in the field of e-fuel this will be enough for the German government get out of the impasse on the final assessment. We remind you that the decarbonization of transport is seen as the fundamental basis of the European Union’s plan to reduce emissions to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

Today there will be a meeting convened by the Czech Republic with EU countries questioning the Euro 7 legislation. A meeting that will also discuss the endothermy phase-out. Italy will be present and Germany has confirmed its participation. Probably, this opening of the European Union will also be discussed.

The meeting, which, apparently, will play a very important role in the negotiations on the vote with the European Union. For now, we just have to wait for the first comments at the end of this meeting to see if the negotiations between the parties will go on for much longer or if some form of agreement is approaching.
