The ever-increasing oil price is just what the environmental groups need. A general ban on the registration of new cars with a high consumption value is now required.
Against the background of ever increasing oil prices, environmental groups are massively increasing the pressure on car manufacturers. A general ban on the registration of new vehicles with a particularly high consumption value is required. In a nutshell, this means: «Fuel guzzlers have to get off the streets», as the President of the Nature Conservation Union (Nabu), Olaf Tschimpke, told the «Berliner Zeitung». Only a ban, and not the planned fines, could force the auto industry to drastically reduce the fleet consumption of its vehicles.
The Verkehrsclub Deutschland (VCD) goes one step further and calls for a general ban on gas guzzlers. According to this, from 2015 only new vehicles should be allowed to be registered that are below the consumption values defined by the state. The European Union recently announced a general average value for all vehicles of 130 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer. This corresponds to a consumption value of 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers.
But the EU directives do not go far enough for the associations. “The technology for a five-liter car is already available today. But the automotive industry is hesitant to use them quickly for profit reasons,”criticized VCD automotive expert Gerd Lottsiepen. (AG)
