Tuesday, 14 November
11:00-13:30
Silversquare Europe
The European Union will ban the sale of new fossil fuel vehicles in 2035, and the Parliament is set to adopt the Euro 7 emission standards to introduce stricter rules for the remaining decade. All the while, there is a major push for electric vehicles across the continent, despite Europe’s lagging competitiveness in the area.
With the help of experts and legislators, our event will answer many of the burning questions about car emissions and related EU legislation.
- What does the fossil fuel vehicle ban mean for ordinary Europeans?
- Does Europe even have enough electricity and raw materials to make the required changes?
- Is the auto industry prepared for it?
- Is going electric truly beneficial for the environment and is it going to be affordable for the average person?
Join us at our next event on 14 November at Silversquare Europe to be part of an exciting discussion.
