2030 goal of Austrian transport minister: only emissions-free car registrations
Handelsblatt
The transport minister of Austria wants to see new registration of conventional cars phased-out by 2030, writes Handelsblatt. “It is my goal that in 2030, only emissions-free cars will be registered in Austria,” Austrian transport minister Jörg Leichtfried told Handelsblatt in an interview. Asked about decisions on diesel bans in England and France, Leichtfried said that he was “not a friend of bans” and wanted to develop the transport transition together with the industry and the population.
