The European Union has proposed changes to a 2023 law that effectively banned the sale of new internal combustion engine cars from 2035.

Headline seems to be jumping the gun.

Why don't they just implement a "a car may not pollute more than xyz" rule and let manufacturers figure it out? It's possible to develop much cleaner combustion engines.

That's called EuroX regulations, currently at Euro6. While they are burning cleaner, they still produce a lot of CO and CO2.

That's what the original plan was

No it's not! ICEs are basically maxed out.

Time for Euro7 and make it much stricter than Euro6 then. Follow up with Euro8 that would allow just 5 grams of CO2 per km.

It's not like they absolutely need to build combustion engines. If they can't figure it out, just build something else
