The whole world towards stopping gas and gasoline cars. Britain United

Since 2017, only electric vehicles will be allowed to circulate in Great Britain and France.

“Brenda a short term must end internal burn engine technology”, CDU transport expert Oliver Whittke told Deutschlandfunk. Whittke referred to Great Britain's plans, starting in 2040, to ban the sale of oil and gasoline vehicles. Environmental destruction is very high, Environment Minister Michael Gove told the BBC. ”

The conservative party has promised that by 2050, there will be no more oil or gasoline vehicles on our streets”, Gove said. This means that 2040 will not be allowed registration of new cars of gasoline and oil, but only electric vehicles will be on Britain's streets. France also plans such a stop by 2040.

Now Germany in consultation with European partners must also set a date for stopping motor vehicles with internal burns. Land Minister Baden-Wurtemberg Winfreed Kretschmann has criticised Minister of Transport Alexander Dobrendt, who, according to him, has not taken sufficient measures since the beginning of this crisis. Minister Dobrindt's “hasn't supported us at all” said Kretschmann for ARD.

Greenpeace requires ban in 2025

German Polticians seek a meeting between government and auto companies in early August to talk about changes and give up oil and gasoline engines. Kretschmann is more careful in forecasts and requires oil cars to improve effectively to reduce environmental damage levels from particles. If this is not achieved, he thinks these vehicles should be removed from circulation.

Greenpeace Environmental Protection Organization says this is not enough. The report on Greenpeace transport, Tobias Astrup, calls on the German government to take necessary measures by saying: “Only if these goals are achieved by 2025, Germany's basic industry will be able to ensure its survival and that of the planet.” / DW/
