Ban new car sales by 2035
[New York]Governor Hawkle of New York announced on the 29th that it will effectively ban gasoline and diesel vehicles by 2035 for new cars such as passenger cars and pickup trucks sold in the state. The aim is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The move comes following the state of California decided on a similar regulation in August this year.
Hawkle will direct the regulation to New York’s environmental conservation agency and hold public hearings to get it fleshed out. SUVs are also subject to regulation.
It plans to gradually raise the percentage of new car sales that are zero-emission vehicles to 35% of 2026 model models, 68% by 2030, and then the total by 2035.
