A subtle but meaningful shift is emerging from Brussels around one of Europe’s most symbolic transport policies. According to discussions now circulating at the level of the European Commission, the long-promised 2035 cutoff—intended to end the sale of new cars with CO₂-emitting combustion engines—may no longer be treated as a hard edge. Instead of an absolute stop, policymakers are considering a framework that would allow carmakers to continue producing a limited number of petrol and diesel vehicles beyond that date.

GreenPower Motor Company Inc., a prominent manufacturer and distributor of all-electric, zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles, has announced its financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. Despite challenges in the EV sector, the company achieved significant progress, recording revenues of $39.3 million, closely matching the previous year’s $39.7 million. GreenPower’s Chairman and CEO, Fraser Atkinson, emphasized the company’s strategic shift towards a customer order-driven production model, necessitating enhancements in manufacturing capabilities in both California and West Virginia.
