German government鈥檚 environmental advisers call for e-car quota
The German Advisory Council on the Environment (SRU), which advises the German government, has called for an e-car quota to push the energy transition in the transport sector. At least 25 percent of new cars and light trucks should be pure electric by 2025, and at least 50 percent by 2030, the SRU said in a study. 鈥淧ower-to-liquid or power-to-gas are interesting options for shipping and aviation, but not for road transport鈥�, said SRU member Claudia Kemfert at the presentation of the study in Berlin. 鈥淓lectric cars offer a much larger range per energy unit use and are locally emission-free.鈥� For this reason, the SRU also said that freight transport should be electrified, using catenaries (overhead electrical wires) on motorways.
