WOLFSBURG, March 13 (Reuters) - Porsche CEO
Oliver Blume characterised the debate over e-fuels as
"emotional" and said there was no conflict between
electrification and building out e-fuel production during a
press call on Monday following the carmaker's results.
Porsche is the strongest advocate for e-fuels as a
carbon-free way of driving combustion engine cars among all
German carmakers amid a debate in Europe over whether to allow
new combustion engines to be powered by e-fuels after 2035.
"We can adjust tax politics to make e-fuels cheaper ...
politics should support investments to make prices more
attractive," Blume said. "It is worth it. I know no other
possibility to decarbonise combustion engine cars."
