The European Union's 2035 Goals and the Transformation in the Automotive Sector
Despite objections from automakers, the European Union (EU) Banning the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035 The decision has been taken. This decision stands out as part of the efforts for environmental sustainability and combating climate change. European Commission Transport Commissioner Apostolos Tsitsikostas emphasized that this timetable is definite and there is no possibility of postponement. Achieving the 2035 target will create a significant transformation in Europe's automotive market.
Emission Standards and Manufacturer Obligations
Although the EU will review its emissions standards in 2026, these changes will have no impact on the 2035 target. The sale of internal combustion engine vehicles on the European market will be completely stopped. This will force car manufacturers to find innovative solutions and accelerate the spread of electric vehicles. Automobile manufacturers, will have to invest in new technologies to overcome the challenges they face in this transition process.
Additional Time and Support Packages Granted to Manufacturers
In response to carmakers’ demands to relax emissions targets for 2025, the EU has told them three years additional period During this period, manufacturers will be able to take the necessary steps to meet emissions standards by developing new technologies. In addition, the 'borrowing method' emissions model proposed by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) will be implemented. This model will allow manufacturers to manage their emissions targets more flexibly.
Investment and Competitiveness in Battery Production
EU to support European automotive sector against Chinese rivals a new investment package for battery production This package includes a fund worth 1,8 billion euros and aims to strengthen battery production facilities in the region by providing financial support to manufacturers in Europe. These steps aim to accelerate the sustainable transformation of Europe's automotive sector and not to fall behind in global competition.
The Future of Electric Vehicles and Market Dynamics
The ban on internal combustion engine vehicles will increase the market share of electric vehicles and encourage the development of this technology. Electric vehicles attract attention with their environmentally friendly features and are among the transportation solutions of the future. In line with the EU's goals, especially development of charging infrastructure and the widespread use of electric vehicles will gain importance. Necessary information and incentive programs will be implemented to enable consumers to adapt to this change.
Innovation and Technological Developments in the Automotive Industry
The EU's targets will encourage innovation in the automotive sector. Manufacturers, new generation batteries, will work on innovative solutions such as autonomous driving technologies and connected vehicle systems. These developments will not only increase environmental sustainability, but will also provide consumers with a safer and more comfortable driving experience. This transformation in the automotive industry will also affect workforce dynamics and pave the way for the emergence of new job opportunities.
Conclusion and Future Prospects
The European Union's 2035 goals will create a radical change in the automotive sector. Among the elements that manufacturers need to adapt to these new regulations, develop innovative solutions and support battery production. In this process, the adoption of environmentally friendly transportation solutions and raising consumer awareness are also of great importance. In the future, it is aimed to create a sustainable automotive sector with the widespread use of electric vehicles.
