Phasing out fossil fuel vehicles by 2028 would save EU motorists €635bn, says Greenpeace 

Members of the European Parliament recently voted that all vehicles should be zero emissions by 2035.

Phasing out fossil fuel-powered vehicles seven years earlier than the EU has planned would save motorists €635bn on petrol and diesel, as well as the equivalent of a year's emissions from Russia, Greenpeace has claimed.

The German arm of the environmental organisation said it calculated the savings on petrol and diesel and even hybrid vehicles if the EU phased them out by 2028, instead of the planned 2035 target.
