Germany has reached a deal with the EU on the future use of combustion engines that breaks an impasse between Berlin and Brussels , or more specifically between German auto makers and the environmental lobby , by the EU agreeing to allow some combustion engines beyond 2035 . The bloc and its largest economy had been at odds over the planned 2035 phase-out of CO2-emitting cars . Germany had wanted assurances that new combustion engine cars can be sold beyond the deadline if they run on e-fuels - a request supported by parts of Germany ' s powerful car industry . Vehicles with internal combustion engines can still now be newly registered after 2035 if they fill up exclusively with CO2-neutral fuels .
