BERLIN, March 15 (Reuters) - BMW Chief
Executive Oliver Zipse said he viewed e-fuels as having the
biggest impact for decarbonising transport if used in existing
car fleets, rather than in new cars as was being discussed in
Europe.
"The main impact of e-fuels is on existing fleets, not in
the regulation of new vehicles being hotly discussed in Europe,"
Zipse said.
"We aren't discussing the existing fleet. The only
opportunity to make a difference there is e-fuels. I agree
strongly with the colleagues proposing that, particularly
because our motors are prepared for it," he added.
Oliver Blume, chief executive of Porsche and
Volkswagen, , lobbied strongly in the annual press
conferences of both companies earlier this week for being open
to using e-fuels, calling on politicians to incentivise their
production.
