EU walks back 2035 combustion-engine ban to boost car industry

Carmakers will need to cut 90 percent of exhaust emissions by 2035, with the rest "compensated" in various ways, under the European Commission review which permits a limited number of combustion-engine cars to be sold past the target date.
