FDP takes a stand: Germany blocks EU climate targets for trucks and buses. At the last minute, the FDP apparently expressed concerns: Because of the unclear German position, the vote on a fully negotiated EU regulation was postponed.

The topic is now on the agenda of the responsible EU committee for Friday. It is uncertain whether the votes required for the project will come about without Germany. The FDP's positioning triggers memories of the dispute over the end of combustion engines for cars. Last year, the EU agreed on a fleet target of 100 percent less CO₂ by 2035.
