Introduction German Finance Minister Lindner said that the German government will not agree to the EU plan to ban the sale of new cars with internal combustion engines from 2035.

German Finance Minister opposes EU 2035 plan

According to German media reports, German Finance Minister Lindner recently stated that the German government will not agree to the EU level plan to ban the sale of new fuel vehicles from 2035.

Lindner believes that in the next few decades, there will be some areas of the world where the introduction of electric vehicles will not be possible. If internal combustion engine production is banned, the automotive industry will not thrive in the long term, at least in Europe and Germany. Lindner said that "technological openness" is an important part of the market economy, which is why he believes the decision to de facto ban internal combustion engines is wrong.

Disagreement within the federation: Green and yellow opposition

Lindner said that in the federal government, the FDP will not agree to this European legislation. A spokesman for Federal Environment Minister Steffi Lemke (Green Party) recently made a different sound. He said that the federal government fully supports the recommendations of the Commission and the European Parliament to only allow new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles from 2035. The car is equipped with a zero-emission drive system.

Previously, the European Parliament wanted to ban the sale of new internal combustion engine cars from 2035. A majority of MEPs voted to only allow manufacturers to sell new cars that do not emit climate-damaging greenhouse gases. However, Parliament still needs to negotiate with EU countries before the EU regulations come into force.
