EU: Parlament will offenbar geplantes Verbrenner–Aus lockern
Die großen Fraktionen im Europäischen Parlament streben danach, das für 2035 geplante Verbot für neue Autos mit Verbrennungsmotor aufzuweichen. Das Vorhaben stößt auch auf Kritik.
Large factions within the European Parliament seem to be easing the planned ban on new cars with internal combustion engines by 2035, according to a compromise paper obtained by the Augsburger Allgemeine. The leaders of Christian Democrats, Social Democrats, and Liberals reportedly agreed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the new car fleet by only 87.5 percent, provided that climate-friendly steel is used in production.
EVP faction leader Manfred Weber confirmed the agreement, stating that the end of the internal combustion engine is thus off the table. CSU chief Markus Söder welcomed the emerging majority as significant progress, emphasizing the movement in the right direction. The Auto Industry Association (VDA) president, Hildegard Müller, called for more substantial adjustments, arguing that the push remains behind necessary changes, especially in comparison to earlier proposals by CDU chief Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron, who suggested a 90 percent reduction in emissions.
Green MEP Michael Bloss criticized the initial deal, saying it falls short of what Germany and France have agreed upon, potentially hindering the booming rise of electric cars.
