TMV on the Auto Summit 2025: Stop the phase-out of the internal combustion engine and safeguard jobs in Germany!
"We support as the taxi and rental car association the Chancellor's plans for a halt to the combustion-engine phase-out, also as a clear signal to Brussels," emphasizes TMV President Thomas Kroker.
The association sees in a unified course at the European level a decisive factor in securing jobs in Germany and in providing reliable framework conditions for enterprises and consumers.
"If cabinet members cannot agree on a common path, the Chancellor's prerogative to set policy guidelines will be invoked to speak with one voice in Europe's deliberations," Kroker continues.
Particularly clearly the TMV opposes a complete phase-out of combustion engines from 2035 onwards. In Kroker's view this would be a wrong signal – ecologically as well as economically. For him, a technology-open policy for propulsion is decisive:
"Anything else would not only set back climate- and industrial policy in Germany, but across Europe as a whole in the global comparison by a substantial margin."
A central point of criticism from the association lies in the funding policy: Tax incentives must be reliable and must not be changed from one day to the next.
“Here we have unfortunately had to experience quite a bit of chaos in promoting e-mobility in the traffic-light coalition,” says Kroker.
At the same time, the association sees an opportunity to promote different propulsion technologies on an equal footing, from e-mobility through hydrogen to alternative fuels such as HVO 100 or e-fuels.
A Mobility Summit would be better than an Auto Summit
Patrick Meinhardt also points to the structure of the German automotive industry.
“The Auto Summit in this form is already rather old-fashioned. It would be better to think towards a Mobility Summit, in which SMEs and the associations that deal directly with questions of automotive policy would be involved.”
For Meinhardt, not only the large manufacturers are decisive, but also small and medium-sized enterprises that engage in supplier work and develop patents. A modern approach must involve these companies more strongly in order to safeguard the innovative capacity of Germany as an automotive nation.
The TMV thus signals that it expects not only a clear line in propulsion and climate policy, but also a realignment of the political formats. A summit that places innovation and SMEs on equal footing in focus would, in the association's view, be more future-proof than a traditional gathering of the big players.
