Does Germany also need a combustion end date? The major manufacturers are currently preparing for the fact that their share of electric cars will increase massively in the coming years. Volkswagen, Daimler and BMW are each launching several new electric models this year, from VW's electric SUV ID.4 to the luxury Mercedes EQS sedan. They are driven by the EU's climate targets, which are tightened by the Green Deal by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and by the debate about the upcoming Euro 7 emissions standard. This rule threatens to be so strict that it will make combustion engines disproportionately expensive, warns Bosch CEO Volkmar Denner, among others.
