The European Commission is poised to introduce a groundbreaking regulation that mandates car rental firms and major corporations to exclusively purchase electric vehicles for their fleets from 2030 onward. As reported by the German newspaper Bild, this measure will specifically target leading car rental companies like Sixt SE and Europcar Mobility Group SA, compelling them to transition to an all-electric fleet. This bold initiative seeks to expedite the adoption of electric vehicles across the EU, advancing the timeline by five years compared to the initial plan to ban the sale of new internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035. The regulation is anticipated to have a direct influence on approximately 60% of new car sales within the EU.
