German weekly news magazine Der Spiegel is reporting that Germany’s top legislative body has reached an agreement that may ban internal combustion engine vehicles from German roads and perhaps even roads across Europe.
The bipartisan resolution from the Bunderat, Germany’s upper parliament house, calls on the European Union (EU) to pass directives to assure only zero-emissions passenger vehicles are allowed on European roads by 2030. And although there is no guarantee, or even an indication. that the proposal would be adopted by the EU, Forbes magazine points out German regulations often drive EU regulations.
