To improve air quality we need hardware retrofits. by Svenja Schulze

To improve air quality we need hardware retrofits.

We should support communities with clean air programs instead of letting ourselves succumb to diversionary tactics, that includes, for example, pushing for retrofits of diesel cars as quickly as possible.

As far as I'm concerned it's not about immediately refitting all diesels in Germany, i advocate a step-wise plan to refit diesels where the air is particularly bad... The total costs would then be in the low single-digit billions.

Without refits, consumer confidence will fall even further, neither drivers nor taxpayers should be asked to pay. Carmakers are under an obligation!

This will give renewable energies the necessary boost.
