Several years ago, Norway announced that the country would phase out sales of new vehicles with combustion engines entirely by 2025, as part of a multipronged policy to cut the country’s carbon emissions radically.
The Netherlands followed suit last year, and now it appears France will join the parade—albeit with a later phaseout target year of 2040.
According to The Independent, France plans to ban all gasoline and diesel vehicles from its roads by 2040.
According to Nicolas Hulot, the country’s minister of ecological transition, France will provide financial assistance to buyers to allow them to trade in older cars with combustion engines for newer, zero-emission vehicles.
The ban is part of the effort by new French president Emmanuel Macron to make France carbon-neutral by 2050, including fulfilling its commitments under the Paris Climate Agreement, from which President Donald Trump says the U.S. will withdraw.

Glad to see priorities have priority.
Sounds great, American coal will have a new European market to generate electricity for their zero emission cars. The demand and price for oil will be lower and remain reasonable for American Workers & Families.
You wonder why Trump said no. There ya go. Europe wants to go full metal jacket retard, goombye. According to contemporary social constructs, shouldn’t we have an online Ghoul Pool/Dead Pool going on for European leaders and countries? I choose Sweden.
Sure they will. You believe me, don’t you. 🤣
My Very Bright German Freind (Conservative) Brought the Batteries in to Question for these Cars. His Theory is They Will need to one Day be Discarded as Nuclear Status Waste, and the Subject Would Remain Hush Hush Until it Becomes a Problem ?
They better figger out cheap disposable shuttles to the Sun to dispose battery waste before they go head on with car batteries.
Nuke waste as well.
Even their gheyness is gay. The Mohammedans are going to destroy France.
I assume those vehicles are factory equipped with a white flag.
Phasing out gas engines just in time fir our coming Solar Minimum 100 Year Ice Age.
So they’ve got that going for them.
By 2025 they’ll be using camels.
By 2030 the camels will all have been eaten.
They’ll be full muzzie by 2025, and they’ll be burning
shit at random. Watch.
Wont happen. they’ll be too busy bowing to mekkka 5 times a day and slaving away for mooslums to be driving.
any bonehead with half a brain wouldnt be investing in Europe.
The funny thing is that the only thing that allows Norway to do this is the oil they have pumped out, and continue to pump out of the North Sea. Hypocrite Bastards. Hell, they’re the dumb F*cks that gave Obama a Nobel Peace Prize.
It’s gonna be a real hoot watchin them try to pull over a Ruskie tank for a pollution violation…
Tricycles, anyone?
Great news!
More oil for us, at better prices.
Now I’m gonna get a bigger SUV!
One with a trailer hitch!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa!
Emission impossible.
All the combustible vehicles in France will be gone long before then at the rate “youths” of no particular religion are burning them.
