Some good news from the IAA: Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes are at the forefront with their electric cars. Unfortunately, some politicians still believe that the combustion engine can save Germany.

It would be best to simply ignore Markus Söder . Or, more precisely, his rescue plans for the German auto industry. Shortly before the start of the IAA motor show in Munich , Bavaria's Minister President came up with ten points for how the auto industry can emerge from the crisis. There's nothing new in terms of content. In short: Drop all goals and targets. Combustion engines forever! Goodbye climate protection!

Everyone knows BMW, but who is Xpeng? One of those companies that's putting German manufacturers under pressure. What's going on with the Germans and their cars? A stroll through Munich, shortly before the IAA motor show.
