With the appearance of electric cars and society turning to ecology, thermal vehicles are doomed to disappear in the near future.

To ensure the transition, several measures have been taken over the next 15 years.

The most important, the end of the sale of new thermal cars in 2035.

The thermal car could soon be only a distant memory… While 75% of working people use their car to go to work, diesel or petrol cars will gradually disappear from French life.

A question therefore arises: until when will the thermal car be sold and authorized?

A schedule of limitations is being put in place for the next 15 years.

More thermal car sales in 2035

With a major ban in 2035: no new thermal cars can be sold in the European Union from this date.

Automakers are aligning themselves with this goal.

Renault, for example, is aiming for 100% of its sales of electric cars by 2030. Until then, other measures will be introduced into the daily lives of the French.

Automated checks in EPZs

This is the case of automated controls in Low Emission Zones (ZFE) from the second half of 2024. Today, very few penalties are applied in the event of non-compliance with the rules.

Moreover, these traffic restrictions in the ZFEs are progressive.

However, a metropolis has already put an end to thermal vehicles, recalls Valentin Desfontaines, sustainable mobility manager at the Action Climat network.

"The metropolis of Greater Paris aims to put an end to diesel traffic and then gasoline vehicles by 2030. We will only have public transport, electric vehicles and bicycles that will be able to circulate in Paris", he specifies. .

Pedestrianization of streets

The capital even wants to go further.

She would like to set up the pedestrianization of streets, which is another step towards the disappearance of cars in the city, and not just thermal cars.

Paris wants to ban the circulation of vehicles in 300 streets in front of schools by March 2026.
