Stellantis opposes the EU's ban on the sale of fuel vehicles by 2035.

Earlier this year, the European Union reiterated its position: to gradually stop selling new internal combustion engine cars from 2035 onwards. However, the ban has not been finalized yet, and the "zero emissions" commitment itself is still under debate. The plan was to reassess the proposal in 2026, but the deliberation time has been moved up to next month. For obvious reasons, most car manufacturers are against this measure, with Stellantis Group being the latest to voice their objections. During an interview, the chairman of this automotive giant, John Elkann, stated that the EU should reconsider its policies and allow the continued sale of internal combustion engine models after 2035. He specifically mentioned plug-in hybrid cars and range-extended electric vehicles. Elkann, who is also the chairman of Ferrari, pointed out that alternative fuels are also an important path to achieving decarbonization goals in the transportation sector.
