Vienna/Brussels – In the debate about weakening the ban on the sale of combustion engines from 2035, Transport Minister Peter Hanke (SPÖ) contradicts his coalition partner ÖVP. “There is no question that e-mobility is the future. Especially now, the switch to emission-free drives needs clear political framework conditions and not a zigzag course,” said Hanke on Wednesday, fearing a competitive disadvantage for the important European automotive industry compared to Chinese car manufacturers.
