German Citizens' Initiative Warns of Automotive Industry's Electric Lag
A citizens' initiative in Germany, advocating for a forward-thinking transformation of the automotive sector, has raised concerns about the current approach taken by 'foreign politicians'. The initiative, led by an unnamed chairman, believes that relaxing the current strategy could hasten the decline of the German car industry.
The initiative, critical of 'change-resistant Saarland doubters', fears that Germany may fall behind in the electric car market. Frank Lichtlein, the chairman of the voter initiative, dismisses alternative drive forms as 'expensive placebos' that fail to address any issues. Instead, the initiative demands a 'future-oriented conversion of production' in the car industry.
Bunt.Saar e.V. supports the mayor's engagement with car suppliers but takes issue with certain demands made by the initiative. Meanwhile, the EU Commission and the federal government are praised for focusing on electromobility as the future technology, including advancements in public passenger transport and autonomous driving. However, the initiative argues that the current demands lead down 'the dead end of further delaying the powertrain transition'.
The citizens' initiative, while welcoming some government efforts, remains critical of the current approach and calls for a more future-oriented conversion in the German car industry. The initiative's chairman, Frank Lichtlein, and other supporters believe that focusing on electromobility is crucial to prevent Germany from losing ground in the electric car market.
