New rules for cars

16. October 2026, 17:00

Germany and France make a new plan. They talk about cars with a motor. The motor uses fuel. The Union wants a ban in 2035. Now the ban is less strict.

The goal for clean air goes down. It goes from 100 to 90 percent. Firms can sell cars with a motor after 2035. Cars with a plug stay legal too.

The car firms want this rule change. Firms in Austria like the plan too. There is a new rule now. Car parts must come from Europe. This rule protects the firms in Europe.
