I watched a piece off N-TV this AM....done by Wulf Stolle in "Der Spiegel."
The general end-results? Starting in 2035, car manufacturers in the EU will be prohibited from selling new conventional combustion engine vehicles (gas/diesel). And the industry is giving a warning of a impending slump.
Added to the commentary.....China is overtaking Europe.
Yeah....it's a crappy period approaching for VW, Audi, BMW, Ford, Mercedes and Opel.
The push going on...to dump the 'ban'? I would suggest it's a big deal for 2026/2027....with the Chancellor forced into a confrontation.

Does that ban also include export vehicles?
The concept was that they (the Merkel crowd originally, and later the EU crowd)...would force the 'world' to this no gas/diesel cars. However, the closer we get...the more disastrous it appears. Meanwhile.....all of the European brands have wasted billions on battery technology development. So yeah....as designed....you would only be able to buy Mercedes/Audi/etc cars with E-car status. Some people believe micro-engines (.5 to .75 L gas engines) will be hooked up to electric engines, and will be the trend.
