This is reported by the German weekly The mirrorhas the European Commission german government a commitment to get the support of the executive, led by Social Democrat Olaf Scholz, for the measure, which had already been approved by the European Parliament in February. According to media sources, this proposal would mean that a new category of combustion engine vehicles that run on synthetic fuels, also known as ‘e-fuels’that can be marketed from 2035.
These vehicles would be equipped with special sensors that would prevent their engines from running on fuels made from fossil fuels, the exhaust detailed.
The German Transport Minister, Volker Wessinghas reiterated its veto over a commitment at European level to prohibit the sale of vehicles emitting carbon dioxide (CO2) from 2035, despite a new proposal from the European Commission (EC), German media reported today.
For example, the exception demanded by the liberal Wissing would be created to allow vehicles with internal combustion engines to be registered after 2035 as long as they work with ‘e-fuels’, the reason for the German veto so far that has been decided in the last minute.
Germany rejects the proposal
However, according to sources The mirrorthe compromise offered by the EC has been rejected, for unknown reasons, both by Wissing and by the head of the Liberal Party and Minister of Finance, Christian Lindner.
Transport ministry officials are now preparing a counter-proposal to be presented in Brussels before a summit of European leaders kicks off on Thursday.
According to German media, Wissing wants to ensure that vehicles with traditional internal combustion engines can remain on the market from 2035 on condition that manufacturers pay a fee that finances the generation of ‘e-fuels’ for a volume equal to that of the consumption corresponding with the vehicle during its useful life.
