„In 2035, it will be 47 percent more expensive to run a truck on e-fuels than to use a battery-electric truck“ – that is the central message of a study published today by the environmental organization Transport and Environment (T+E). At the same time, T+E warns the EU against installing an incentive system for synthetic fuels in trucks. Strong criticism of the study comes from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). This is the start of the lobbyists’ dispute over e-fuels, as Markus Grabitz writes – a few weeks before the Commission is due to present its proposal for a phase-out of internal combustion engines for commercial vehicles.
