On June 7, the EU could decide to phase out gasoline and diesel from 2035 at the latest. And that, according to focus, despite “mega risks” such as a strong dependence on raw materials from China in electromobility.
We hope that politicians will take another close look at these risks for themselves and, with their decision on Tuesday, avert lasting economic and social damage to Germany and Europe as a result of an electric-only strategy that is still very much in question. What we need is a policy of genuine technological openness and equal opportunities for drives. After all, there are already many ways to “refuel” internal combustion engines – existing or new – with eFuels, CO2-neutral fuels from green electricity, or the latest generation of advanced biofuels already on the market.
We keep our fingers crossed that common sense will prevail in the end and that many people will continue to join our cause.
