Ford Chairman Stresses Importance of Upholding 2035 Combustion Engine Phase-Out
Gunnar Herrmann, Ford's Supervisory Board Chairman in Germany, strongly warns against weakening the scheduled end of sales for new cars with combustion engines by 2035. He emphasizes that altering the transition to electric vehicles jeopardizes growth, prosperity, and the future.
Those advocating for such changes demonstrate a lack of strategy and risk outsourcing car production to China. Herrmann asserts that pausing the shift to electric cars endangers the automotive industry in Germany as a whole.
This stance is echoed by Bavaria's Minister President Söder, who calls for exceptions for E-Fuels. The EU's decision that new cars must emit zero carbon dioxide by 2035 is backed by EU member states and the European Parliament, with President von der Leyen announcing exemptions for E-Fuels.
Chancellor Scholz expresses contentment with these measures, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the combustion engine phase-out deadline.
