We need a dialogue for the transport transition – opinion
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
The current passionate discussions about diesel cars, air quality and driving bans should be used to kick-start a wide mobility transition dialogue between politicians, the car industry, citizens and environmentalists, writes Martin Gropp in an opinion piece in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. This dialogue should be held objectively and without favouring any one technology, to find solutions tailormade for individual municipalities while sharing best practices, writes Gropp. “The discussion must lead to clear solutions fast,” he writes.
