Is the gasoline car saved? 'European automakers are falling further behind'

Germany and France have reached an agreement that may weaken EU emissions regulations for cars, allowing new gasoline vehicles by 2035. This decision comes amid rising sales of electric vehicles in the EU, which increased by 63% in August. While some EU countries advocate for stricter rules, the deal could delay the transition to electric cars, as manufacturers lobby against stringent climate goals. Critics warn this could harm the European auto industry, pushing consumers towards Chinese electric vehicles. The European Parliament appears open to relaxing regulations, with major political groups supporting this shift.
