A study by DUH found that over half of leading German politicians' work vehicles exceed the EU’s average CO2 emissions target of 93.6 grams per kilometer. Of the 238 vehicles evaluated, 151 exceeded this target, showing only modest improvement from previous years. Seven federal government ministers used vehicles earning red cards for high emissions. The findings highlight a lack of significant efforts toward sustainable vehicle choices within the federal Cabinet, reflecting issues seen in the broader auto industry regarding climate change.
More than half of leading German politicians' work vehicles exceed EU targets for average CO2 emissions, reflecting a broader issue in the auto sector's climate protection efforts.
The sluggish progress toward environmentally sustainable official vehicles reflects the entire auto sector's lag in climate protection, with significant reliance on fossil fuel vehicles.
In total, 151 of 238 evaluated cars exceeded the EU's average emissions target, marking only a modest improvement over previous years.
Despite the continuing climate crisis, there was no sign of a consequential switch toward more efficient vehicles in the federal Cabinet, as shown by card ratings.
