EU poised to water down new car pollution rules after industry lobbying - lemm.ee

I feel that, at some point, the emissions standards get so restrictive, that it makes them impossible to practically meet. Making it a ban in all but name. I’m not familiar enough, with the original proposal for Euro7. But it seems like it might be at that threshold. The European Union needs to make up their mind, whether or not they want to allow combustion vehicles at all…
They did. Starting 2035, ICEs won’t be sold anymore in EU.
Actually they went back on it at the start of the year, ICEs are allowed to be sold as long as they run on 100% carbon neutral fuels. The total ICE ban was going to completely shut the door on hydrogen so they changed the wording.
Doesn’t hydrogen use fuel cells anyway? Fuel cells aren’t ICE.
High pressure hydrogen is a thing too and regular petrol engines can be converted to run on it. Toyota already did it with an old corolla and a rally Yaris mag.toyota.co.uk/restomod-ae86/ …toyota.co.uk/hydrogen-gr-yaris-showcases-experim…

ICE with ideal transmission is less efficient, than real fuel cell + PMSM.
