Ford, Volvo Cars and broad industry coalition appeals to EU to ensure all new cars and vans are zero emissions from 2035
Carmakers Ford and Volvo Cars join 26 companies in public call to EU legislators ahead of crucial votes.
While 15 car brands have voluntarily pledged to only sell electric cars in Europe in the next decade [2], the signatories say it’s down to EU decision makers to mirror this in firm vehicle regulation to provide planning certainty for industry but also for infrastructure providers and customers in the transition to electric vehicles.
Jim Rowan, CEO of Volvo Cars, said: “Volvo Cars plans to become a fully electric car company by 2030 and supports the end of fossil fuel vehicle sales in Europe by 2035. This would not only be in-line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, which require 100% zero tailpipe emission vehicle sales in Europe by 2035, but it’s just the right thing to do. The window for us to avoid the worst impacts of global warming is rapidly closing.
