E-cars: Particulate matter emissions higher than those of combustion engines
Electric cars produce almost as much particulate matter as combustion engines, yet they are not regulated. The increase in the number of electric cars could therefore soon lead to a deterioration in air quality and new driving bans for combustion engines.
Euro 7: Diesel vehicles cleaner than e-cars
With the new emission standard, the EU demands utopian emission values for combustion vehicles. Experts therefore estimate that the new rules will have hardly any impact on air quality, and thus not on impending driving bans.
Range test: petrol and public transport are significantly more expensive than diesel and electric
Which means of transport will get us the furthest for our money? A test shows why diesel vehicles are still so popular and that public transport is not an alternative for many people.
Climate killer: emissions scandal with plug-in hybrids
The vehicles emit up to 12 times more CO2 than the manufacturers claim. Some experts suspect cut-off devices which deliberately make the measured values appear low.
Great Britain submits: Internal combustion engine taboo from 2030
The sale of new petrol and diesel cars will be banned sooner than planned. The country is thus putting pressure on the automotive industry, including on the European continent.

Deutsche Umwelthilfe laments the real emissions of new trucks on the roads and demands a rethink.
Role model? Government fully committed to diesel
The state government in Lower Saxony is preaching traffic turnaround and climate protection - and continues to rely on heavy diesel limousines.
Mobility turnaround in the Mediterranean: VW plans revolutionary e-car island
Traffic on Astypalea is to become completely climate-neutral and electric. The island will thus become a pioneer for the smart city of tomorrow.
Electric mobility: the future is now!
A new method of charging for electronically powered vehicles and their batteries will undergo several tests in Karlsruhe early next year.
