2035 is an important time node, as the European Parliament has introduced a proposal to ban the sale of gasoline vehicles, which will affect passenger cars and weigh up to 3A variety of fuel models, including 5-ton light commercial vehicles. The adoption of this proposal lays the groundwork for negotiations on a final bill between the European Parliament and EU member states. Although this proposal has not yet become law, once it is unanimously adopted, it will mean that the combustion engine vehicle will fulfill its historic mission in Europe. Globally, the call for support for new energy vehicles is increasing, and it is only a matter of time before fuel vehicles are withdrawn from the market.
In China, Hainan Province has taken the lead in announcing a "ban on combustion", implementing China VI emission standards from 2020, and issuing regulations in 2021 to gradually ban the sale of fuel vehicles from March 1 of that year, and is expected to fully realize the use of clean energy vehicles by 2030. In addition to Hainan, cities such as Taiyuan, Shenzhen and Guangzhou are also actively promoting the use of new energy vehicles, reflecting the pursuit of environmental protection and new technologies. Not only that, many countries and regions have announced a timetable for banning the sale of fuel vehicles.
For example, Athens in Greece, Madrid in Spain and Paris in France were among the first regions to implement a ban, while Spain, Norway, the Netherlands, Mexico and France also plan to implement a ban in 2040. In response to this global megatrend, major automakers are accelerating their electrification transition. BYD stopped selling gasoline-powered vehicles all last year, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz expressed support for the European Commission's proposal, and Mercedes-Benz even said in a statement that the company is ready to achieve 100% electric vehicle sales by 2030. Other automakers such as Volkswagen, BMW, Kia, Ford, Jaguar, Nissan, and Toyota have also expressed their support for the proposal and announced a timetable for discontinuing the sale of gasoline-powered vehicles.
However, the adoption of new energy vehicles faces challenges, including consumer concerns about the range of electric vehicles, the convenience of charging and swapping, and the cost of replacing electric vehicle batteries. Although the policy supports new energy vehicles, and the results of the state's subsidies for new energy vehicles are gradually emerging, in order for all consumers to fully accept new energy vehicles, it is necessary to further improve the technology of electric vehicles and surrounding facilities. The rise of new energy vehicles has become a hot topic in the global automotive industry. Recently, a major policy has once again aroused widespread public concern: in the future, China will ban the sale of new fuel vehicles. This news has undoubtedly brought many doubts and expectations to people.
However, to be clear, this ban does not mean that existing combustion engine vehicles will be phased out. In this case, let's delve into the deep meaning of this policy and the importance behind the transformation. First of all, we must understand the profound implications of banning the sale of new combustion engine vehicles. This is not a simple policy change, but a response to the urgent need for environmental protection and sustainable development. On a global scale, the promotion of new energy vehicles has become a common goal of all countries. The exhaust emissions generated by traditional fuel vehicles have become an important source of air pollution and environmental damage, seriously affecting people's quality of life and health. Therefore, the promotion of new energy vehicles has been imminent.
The ban on the sale of new fuel vehicles is essentially promoting China's automobile industry to move towards a more environmentally friendly and clean direction, and providing a more livable living environment for the people. Secondly, we must also be aware of the impact of banning the sale of new combustion engine vehicles. Although the ban only applies to new car sales, this policy has brought some distress and concern to existing fuel vehicle owners. However, it is worth noting that the existing combustion engine vehicles will not be forced off the assembly line because of this. Car owners can continue to use their cars without worrying too much about the use and value of the vehicle.
Therefore, at this critical moment, we might as well welcome this transformation with a peaceful mind, and at the same time look forward to the relevant policies to provide more support and protection for car owners. Finally, how to balance technological progress, market demand and consumer interests is a complex but important issue. The promotion of new energy vehicles requires the continuous progress and application of technology, the continuous stimulation and expansion of market demand, and the need to provide more convenient and affordable options for consumers from the perspective of consumers. In this process, enterprises and consumers need to work together to promote the development of new energy vehicles.
It is believed that with the continuous progress of electric vehicle technology, the improvement of endurance and the more convenient charging facilities, new energy vehicles will eventually successfully replace traditional fuel vehicles, bringing cleaner and more convenient choices for people's travel. To sum up, the ban on the sale of new fuel vehicles is undoubtedly a milestone in the history of the development of China's automobile industry. The implementation of this policy is not only a major measure for environmental protection and sustainable development, but also a strong promotion for the healthy development of the automobile industry. In the process of welcoming this change, we need to look at the significance and impact of the policy rationally, and work together to contribute to the popularization and development of new energy vehicles. We believe that through cooperation and hard work, we will be able to create a cleaner and more environmentally friendly new era of automobiles.
