New politics. A new Europe. / An ambitious climate agenda for Europe

Fairer regulations for polluting ways of transport

  • Ban the use of fossil fuels in road vehicles by 2035. This does not ban the sale or use of internal combustion engines as long as they burn biofuels or synfuels.

  • Abolish taxation exemptions on aircraft fuel and increase efforts to achieve net zero emissions in European international and domestic aviation by 2040 through the Aviation Advisory Council (ACARE).

The 5+1 challenges

Volt has defined 5+1 fundamental Challenges that need to be tackled in each European country and in Europe as a whole.

Why 5 + 1 Challenges?

The 5 Challenges are basically the same for every country, but their implementation can be adapted on the national level to take into account local realities.

The +1 Challenge – our proposal to reform and strengthen the EU – is identical across all our national programmes.
