BMW Boss Warns Against Petrol and Diesel Car Ban

Conclusion

The debate over the ban on petrol and diesel cars is likely to continue. However, Zipse's comments have put the issue back in the spotlight. It remains to be seen whether the European Union will go ahead with the ban. However, Zipse's comments have certainly given the issue something to think about.
