LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) -- California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday to ban the sale of new gasoline-fueled cars and passenger trucks in the most populous state in the United States by 2035, aggressively moving the Golden State further away from its reliance on climate change-causing fossil fuels.

According to an executive order issued by Newsom, all new passenger vehicles sold in California are required to be zero-emission by the 2035 deadline, a target which would achieve more than a 35 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
