Mercedes workers to postpone the stop on combustion engines. Starting from 2035 only cars with zero climate impact will be able to be registered.
Currently, Mercedes is still able to produce more combustion engines or more electric cars, depending on the market situation. If the abandonment date were postponed, Mercedes-Benz could "organize the transition to a different driving world in a more socially acceptable way for employees", says the works council. This would probably increase the chances of a pact to safeguard jobs until 2035, as requested by the Works Council.
