Oregon Bans The Sales Of New ICE Vehicles By 2035

Oregon has become the fourth U.S. state to approve a ban on the sale of gasoline and diesel-powered cars from 2035.

The move is part of efforts on the part of Oregon’s authorities to reduce emissions by 50 percent by 2035 and further by 90 percent by 2050.

The transport sector generates some 40 percent of the state’s emissions, The Oregonian noted in a report on the news. To combat these, the Oregonian authorities, following the example of California, will also set a net-zero car sales quota for carmakers present in the state.

The quota, covering plug-in hybrids, battery electric vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cell cars, will be 35 percent of all sales for 2026, rising to 100 percent by 2036.
