Chancellor Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) has again opposed the planned end for new combustion cars from 2035. “It is important for us that we allow technical progress, that we are not hostile to innovation,” Nehammer emphasized before the EU summit on Thursday. summit in Brussels. He will continue to promote the “green combustion engine with e-fuels” and support the states that have put this topic on the agenda.
“Climate protection needs innovation and progress,” said Nehammer. It shows that just like “green hydrogen, e-fuels are also a possibility” to combat climate change. “We must not jeopardize Europe as a location for research and innovation,” Nehammer warned.
In fact, negotiators in the European Parliament and the EU countries had already agreed in the autumn that from 2035 only zero-emission new cars may be registered in the EU. But the planned confirmation by the EU states surprisingly failed because of Germany. Other countries, including Austria, have since joined the blockade.
