Munich should become car-free - this is the dream that some cherish.
But how realistic is it?
Dieter Reiter gave his assessment at the IAA Mobility.
Munich - Cars in Munich * - how long will this picture be there?
Will the future even be car-free for the sake of the climate?
Lord Mayor Dieter Reiter * (SPD) was confronted with this scenario at the IAA Mobility.
BMW boss Oliver Zipse explained his view of things to the politician when the two of them looked at an electric SUV on the exhibition grounds, as reported by the "AZ": In the old town there could be car-free in the future, but in suburbs like Milbertshofen the people of Munich will According to Zipse, they will continue to drive cars in the future.
Dieter Reiter: "You can't create a car-free city overnight"
Reiter does not contradict, but says that it depends on how many pollutants the cars emit and how many people the cars transport.
More than 700,000 cars are registered in Munich, according to Reiter: "You can't create a car-free city overnight."
No car-free utopia in the Bavarian capital - at least not in the foreseeable future.
But other solutions caught the OB's eye anyway: Reiter was interested in ecological solutions: more efficient charging stations, or with car drives that do not burn petrol or diesel.
During a walk through the fair, Reiter mainly looked at Munich companies from the automotive industry.
