Summary
The politically envisioned transformation of the European automotive industry is being overtaken by reality. The misconception and misunderstanding that China is 100% committed to electromobility and that the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) category consists solely out of battery-powered vehicles is leading to massive job losses and the loss of technological leadership in Europe.
As long as electricity generation produces larger CO2 emissions [1] than the entire transport sector, there is a need for technological neutrality. To what extent the supposedly "green" ideology in Brussels will allow for a change of course remains unclear, especially after the publication of the draft "Automotive Package." Ideally, it will be recognized that hybrid vehicles and range extenders, particularly those
powered by CO2-neutral fuels, represent a suitable transitional solution and are better from a climate perspective than the "battery-only" approach.
