The European Commission’s proposal to stop the sale of heat-engine cars starting in 2035 it had been well received by several Member States, despite the skepticism shown by the CEOs of numerous car manufacturers. To date, however, there are several nations that are preparing to change their minds: the last in chronological order to carry out this turnaround it was Germany, which promises to bet certainly on the electric but also on the internal combustion engines also the fateful deadline of 2035.
“We want to allow internal combustion engines after 2035, but only if they can only run on synthetic fuels – said Volker Wissing, the German Transport Minister, at the end of an informal summit with his European colleagues – We don’t have enough electric vehicles today. We need to increase their availability. So it is better for people to turn to hybrid technology as an intermediate solution. For the future, we cannot focus only on electric mobility or hydrogen. We need to maintain a neutral technological approach ”. Easily intelligible words: the future of the automotive sector in Germany cannot be reduced only to the electric solution, internal combustion engines will continue to play a leading role even after the middle of the next decade, clearly in a sustainable key guaranteed by the renewable fuels on which more and more car manufacturers are focusing, Audi and Lamborghini above all.
