If it is up to the European Union, only new zero-emission cars will be sold from 2035. There is no more room for the combustion engine in it. Germany prefers to see it differently. The German transport minister says it wants to sell new cars with combustion engines in the country after 2035.
“Even after 2035, we want to allow the sale of new cars with combustion engines,” German Transport Minister Volker Wissing told the Italian section of the Motor1 website. Wissing does, however, add the condition that those combustion engines then run on non-fossil fuels. Synthetic fuels are therefore an interim solution.
The German minister believes that “we cannot cope with only electric cars or cars with a fuel cell (hydrogen).” Wissing also says that there are simply not enough electric cars at the moment.
The fact that Germany is not eager to permanently ban the combustion engine is not new in itself. Last year, the country, like France, already spoke out against the ban on the sale of new cars with combustion engines.
