The Federal Ministry of Transport has submitted a proposal on how to resolve the dispute over the 2035 phase-out of internal combustion vehicles within the German government. As the Federal Ministry for the Environment confirmed to Table.Media, the proposal was sent to the EU Commission on Wednesday afternoon. It is intended to allow internal combustion vehicles to continue to be registered after 2035, provided they can be fueled exclusively with synthetic fuels (e-fuels).
