ANTI-CAR PROTESTS
GERMANY’S biggest motor show, which took place in Munich recently, is no longer just about cars, but about mobility in general, from bikes to e-scooters to cars. Activists and environmental groups point out that for all the talk of mobility and diversified transport, automakers still make the vast majority of their money from fossil-fuel emitting SUV sales.
“Adding ‘mobility’ to the event’s name and pushing their e-models to the fore won’t do the trick as long as they keep selling primarily gas-guzzling combustion engines,” Marion Tiemann, transport expert for Greenpeace in Germany, said. | Reuters
