The European Commission has watered down its plans to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2035, BBC reported.
Current rules state that new vehicles sold from that date should be "zero emission", but carmakers, particularly in Germany, have lobbied heavily for concessions.
Under the European Commission's new plan, 90% of new cars sold from 2035 would have to be zero-emission, rather than 100%, according to BBC.
