Abstract

The EU “Fit-For-55″ resolution provisions the banning of fossil-fuel-vehicle sales beyond 2035, sparking a heated debate due to its uncertain effectiveness in reducing CO2 emissions globally. Nevertheless, the EU shift towards zero-emission vehicles has the potential to decrease urban nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollution that is closely linked to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and to increased mortality.
