However, the announcement of the Euro 7 emissions standard alone caused a stir in the automotive industry, which continues to fear a ban on internal combustion engines "through the back door." Environmental organizations smell dirty tricks from the industry.

Noch in diesem Jahr will die EU-Kommission neue Grenzwerte für die Abgase von Pkw und Lkw festlegen, die ab 2025 gelten sollen.

Umweltorganisationen wittern faule Tricks der Branche.
