The German government reached an agreement with the European Commission on the dispute regarding the ban on the production of new cars with internal combustion engines, DPA reported, citing representatives of both sides in the negotiations.

The central topic of the dispute between Brussels and Berlin was whether car manufacturers will be able to continue producing cars that run on the so-called

electric fuels, and after 2035. "We have reached an agreement with Germany on the future use of electric fuels in cars," European Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans wrote on Twitter.

"We will now work to ensure that the rules containing the carbon dioxide standards for cars are adopted as soon as possible," Timmermans said.

Germany has formed an alliance against stopping the sale of new cars with internal combustion engines by 2035.

"Cars with internal combustion engines will be able to be used even after 2035, if they run only on fuels that are neutral from the point of view of carbon dioxide," said German Transport Minister Volker Vissing, BTA informed.
