Children's TV show hero swaps combustion car for bicycle

WDR

One of Germany’s most famous children’s TV characters weighed in on the car emissions debate, swapping its combustion engine car for a bicycle in a video posted on Twitter. German public broadcaster WDR posted the video which shows the animated mouse from “Sendung mit der Maus”, an educational children’s show that's been running since 1971, scrapping its car with the parts being transformed into a bicycle, hash-tagged #switching, #dieselgate, #emissions and #cartel.
