30/06/2022 (Agence Europe) – The European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) published a study on Thursday 30 June claiming that replacing diesel vehicles with electric ones would reduce pollution and save EU Member States more than €9 billion a year in health costs. “Of all the alternatives considered, nothing will reduce pollution or harmful emissions as much as replacing diesel vehicles with electric vehicles”, said Delft EC researcher and author of the report, Anco Hoen. The study comes as the EU Council adopted its common position on CO2 emission standards for cars and vans on the night of 28-29 June. The text provides, among other things, for an end to the sale of new vehicles with internal combustion engines in 2035 (see EUROPE 12982/9). See the study: https://aeur.eu/f/2ft (TM)
