Abstract

The EU policy with the compulsion towards electromobility in the road and off-road vehicle sector and with an exclusive focus on driving operation (Tank-to-Wheel) and neglecting of the relevant processes of vehicle production (Cradle-to-Gate), energy supply (Well-to-Tank) as well as recycling (End-of-Life) leads to an ideological ecological distortion ignoring the boundary conditions of a free market economy. Parallel options for propulsion and fuel/energy systems have to be admissible. A return of the policy towards technology openness and scientific facts is essential.
