The Green Deal, spearheaded by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, was meant to push through the EU’s ambitious environmental goals, heralding sweeping reforms in transport and energy before encountering resistance from farmers. Of the 70 specific regulations in the deal, which aim to make the bloc carbon neutral and preserve its biodiversity, most have been adopted or are in the pipeline. But a number have stalled or been postponed altogether.

Here is an overview of the key measures taken so far:

– Automobile: the bloc has taken a major decision to phase out internal combustion engines in all new cars from 2035, along with ambitious goals to create a network of electric and hydrogen charging stations.

– Trucks: from 2030, carbon emissions from new trucks will have to be 45 percent lower than in 2019. All new city buses must be zero-emission from 2035. (Julien GIRAULT, more on barrons.com)
