BRUSSELS (dpa-AFX) – German Transport Minister Volker Wissing expects a breakthrough soon in maintaining new cars equipped with combustion engines. The idea is to find a solution in the next three weeks – “and that is entirely possible,” the FDP politician said on Monday in Brussels. There will then be a separate category for vehicles that can only be powered by synthetic fuels. According to previous information, this category is necessary so that new cars with combustion engines can continue to be authorized following 2035.
In March, following weeks of blockade by Germany, EU member states definitively decided that from 2035, new cars running on gasoline or diesel would no longer be allowed to circulate. . The federal government around Transport Minister Wissing has agreed that it will be possible to purchase certain combustion cars in the future, provided that they run on climate-neutral synthetic fuels, so-called e-fuels.
Discussions are underway with the European Commission on this subject. “We have a clear position and we believe we can get a result,” Wissing said. He is convinced that we will succeed./ram/DP/nas
