Cities and countries around the world speed up their plans. They set dates between 2030 and 2035. Leaders choose new engines that do not use gas. They cut carbon emissions. They clear the air. They build a path to safe travel.
Global Plans to End Gas Car Sales
Governments plan to stop selling new gasoline or diesel cars. The European Union makes all 27 nations change old rules. The EU plans to end sales of fossil fuel cars by 2035. This rule ties each nation close to the same goal.
China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Indonesia set dates too. China wants all new cars to run without gas by 2035. Singapore stops new gas car registrations by 2030 and ends sales by 2040. Canada, the UK, Norway, France, and India plan changes as well. Some set dates to 2040 or 2050. More and more leaders set these dates to cut pollution.
Cities Lead the Change
Big cities push their own limits. Paris, Madrid, Mexico City, and Athens cut gas car access in busy zones. Oslo and Copenhagen plan full or strong cuts for cars. Their plans work in crowded parts of the city. They test new rules for cleaner roads. They also set rewards for cars that run on clean power.
U.S. States Take Charge
The United States does not have a countrywide ban yet. Some states set their own rules. California makes a rule that stops new gas cars by 2035. Governor Newsom signs an order for clean cars. Twelve states follow California’s lead, such as New York, Washington, and Oregon. Washington aims for 100% electric cars by 2030. The federal government also sets goals. The new rule in the U.S. sets half of new cars to use clean power by 2030. The rules for fuel use also push for cleaner cars. States now lead with their own binding plans.
Old Gas Cars Remain a Test
Stopping new gas cars is a big step. Yet, old gas cars still roam roads. Each year, only a small part of cars are replaced. The rule takes time to work. Cities and countries look at drivers who use gas most. They also plan more help for them to switch to clean cars.
What Drives the Change
The move away from gas cars grows with many needs:
• Climate calls for less carbon.
• Air needs a break from pollution.
• New car methods cut costs, since clean power can be cheaper than gas.
• Shifting from gas cuts the need for oil imports.
Conclusion
Change comes as cities and countries act against gas-powered cars. Leaders across the world set dates to cut carbon and clear the air. Many ideas come together on city roads and state laws. Old cars will stay, and new ones must take over. This plan binds many parts of society. It builds travel that is safe and clean for future days.
