“There should be no drastic reduction in 2035,” Chancellor Friedrich Mertz said, while stressing that the goal of reducing CO2 exhaust emissions in transport by 2035 should remain in force. Mr Mertz also pointed out that he would ask the issue to deal with leaders at the EU Summit at the end of the month.

Klingbil also referred to the need to expand the charging network, but also to the ability to calculate the car exhaust emissions from now on, but also those caused during its construction.

The head of the German Automotive Union (VDA) Hildegard Meller welcomed the support of the German government and described the proposals for plug-in hybrid vehicles “Positive Message”. “Given the particular challenges, fines must be avoided at all costs,” Ms Miller said, while IG Metall Consumer Benner’s president described the exchange of views in Berlin as “encouraging”. It has been made clear that, given the dramatic situation in the industry, action is required and that our voice must be raised in Brussels. “If the bloodshed is going on, the essence of the necessary changes will be lost,” she said.
