German Parliament Supports Proposal To Ban New Combustion-Engine Cars By 2030...

A proposal to stop sales of new combustion-engine cars by 2030 has gained cross-party support in Germany’s upper house of parliament.

German lawmakers will now urge their counterparts at the European Union in Brussels to push incentives for only zero-emission vehicles to be registered by 2030, German weekly news magazine Der Spiegel reported.

The magazine said Germany’s Bundesrat – the country’s federal council – had made the decision in a meeting.

“If the Paris agreement to curb climate-warming emissions is to be taken seriously, no new combustion engine cars should be allowed on roads after 2030,” it quoted Greens party lawmaker Oliver Krischer as saying.

A switch to sales of only zero-emission cars puts thousands of German auto industry jobs at risk since the powertrain of an electric car requires only a tenth of the staff to be assembled. A combustion-engined equivalent needs more workers to assemble cylinders, spark plugs, and gearboxes.

But it comes a year after the diesel scandal became public, at a time when Germany is beginning to register a sudden, and sharp drop in the registrations of diesel cars.

Last week it was reported that “environmental storms sent Europe’s diesel car demand into a steep downward spiral” with diesel sales dropping in August by 5 per cent in Germany, 5.8 per cent in France, 5.5 per cent in Belgium and Luxembourg, and a huge 12.9 per cent in the Netherlands. – Reuters

Easier said than done. Like me waving my cane at home and getting my housework done by magic. Good luck with that.

    Yes I am and I don’t think it will work. Besides the batteries make more toxic materials than it’s worth. Like I said good luck with that.

    And a goal never set will never be achieved… they have set a goal. It is the first step.

    The true shift is to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles…more and more of these are going into production and they have an even lower energy footprint

    You will forgive me if I’m not optimistic about all these as they have been tried before and fizzled out by the wayside.

A ban is ridiculous, they just just make the standards to be more efficient than electric cars.

I really think that the hybrids are best, and use very little gas! And yesterday a new engine with aircombastion was introduced – no airpollusion!
