Malta to impose ban on petrol and diesel-fuelled car imports by 2030-2034

Jun 17 2021 Share

During the announcement of Malta’s Low Carbon Development Strategy, it was revealed that a ban on petrol and diesel-fuelled cars will come into effect between the years 2030 and 2034, pending feedback on a Green Paper issued on the situation.

The strategy states that the actual cut-off date has not been determined yet, with the 2030 date being an optimistic scenario and 2034 being a ‘central scenario’, with the effects of such a policy to be seen in later years.

It is reported that the ban affects car imports and does not concern cars which are already on Malta’s roads and the policy will attempt to improve the country’s electro mobility infrastructure and increase accessibility and charging infrastructure across the country.
