Are diesel cars generally being phased out?
Are new diesel cars generally being phased out?
Asked on 20 March 2025 by Jim76

As it stands, the sale of ICE-only petrol and diesel cars will be banned in EU countries from 2035, and this is reflected in the reduced number of diesel vehicles offered by manufacturers. However, manufacturers are also pushing back against ZEV mandates saying that the targets are impossible without increased support from governments, so the situation is still somewhat uncertain. What is clear however is that even if the sale of new diesel vehicles ends in 2035, there will still be millions of diesel vehicles on the road and this is likely to be the case for many years to come.
