The change means that after 2035, plug-in hybrids, cars with extended scope or soft hybrids, alongside electrical and hydrogen vehicles, could inactive function in the market. According to Reuters, this is the consequence of strong force from Germany, Italy and the automotive manufacture and the EU's biggest departure from the current climate policy in 5 years.
