The EU has proposed an effective ban on fossil fuel cars from 2035 as part of a broader package of measures to combat global warming.
“We will be ICE-ban ready. If a region, a city, a country gets the idea of banning ICEs, we have an offering,” Zipse told a conference in the town of Nuertingen, near Stuttgart.
“The BMW Group is not worried about this. Whether it’s a good idea is another question… but we will have an offering.”
