The Chairman of the Board (CEO) of Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, known as BMW, the German company for the production of luxury cars and motorcycles, Oliver Zipse, announced today that setting a date to end the production of gasoline cars and oil, can harm the climate.
“We believe this would be detrimental to the climate. “Things have not been thought through to the end,” said Zipse.
He stressed that in Germany and Europe there are not enough charging stations for electric cars nor green electricity. If the registration of new combustion engines were to be stopped, the old engines would be used even longer.
At the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP26) in Glasgow, 24 countries and six major carmakers sought to agree on a deadline for the sale and registration of cars with internal combustion engines. According to the plan, only zero-emission cars and vans should be used in major markets by 2035.
BMW wants to be climate neutral by 2050, but Zipse warned that this way is not as trivial as it seems.
To prevent the gap between the charging infrastructure and the increase in the number of electric cars from widening, he called for tax cuts to attract as much investment as possible.
