The discussion about the end of the internal combustion engine in Germany is in full swing. Lars Klingbeil, chairman of the SPD, has called on the automotive industry to make concrete commitments to secure jobs and production in Germany. These demands come amid the debate over the planned EU ban on new registrations for internal combustion engines from 2035.
The EU plans that from 2035 no new cars that emit climate-damaging CO2 will be allowed to be registered. This is intended to significantly reduce emissions in the transport sector. However, the original assumptions that electric vehicle sales would surge have not fully materialized. Therefore, the discussion about alternative solutions such as more environmentally friendly fuels and plug-in hybrids is ongoing.
Klingbeil emphasizes that politicians cannot act without security for employees in the automotive industry. In recent weeks, the SPD has made significant steps towards a compromise and is open to technologies that combine electromobility and combustion engines. This is in contrast to the CSU, which continues to push for the combustion engine ban to be lifted from 2035.
This point of contention could be taken up again at the upcoming coalition committee, in which the leaders of the CDU, CSU and SPD take part. Klingbeil emphasizes that job security should be a priority. The automotive industry is faced with the challenge of committing to sustainable production in order to secure the future of mobility in Germany.
