N-TV: EU overturns ban on combustion engines from 2035
Picture: "The end of the combustion engine is history" - EU politician Weber celebrates von der Leyen's e-fuel turnaround"
These headlines from major German media houses in December 2025 suggested to readers that the EU
Commission had made a huge U-turn on the "combustion car ban".
CDU/CSU politicians such as Manfred Weber, Markus Söder and Friedrich Merz were repeatedly presented in the
media as campaigners against the ban on combustion engines.
Now the end of the ban on combustion engines has been announced with great pathos.
Since, according to surveys, almost two thirds of Germans reject the ban on combustion engines, the CDU/CSU politicians were
able to celebrate themselves as fighters for the common people.
But if you take a closer look at this so-called end to the ban on combustion engines, it
becomes clear that it is a fraudulent label.
The ban on combustion engines has not been overturned in the slightest, but only minimally reduced.
Originally, manufacturers were obliged to reduce their CO2 emissions for new cars by 100% from 2035 compared to 2021,
which would have led to a de facto ban on combustion engines.
Following the amendment by the EU Commission in December 2025, 90% of CO2 must still be saved.
The loudly proclaimed end of the ban on combustion engines therefore only affects 10% of new vehicles.
But even for this 10%, the Commission imposes strict conditions:
Here, CO2 must be saved in other ways, for example by using "green" steel, which is produced with hydrogen instead of carbon.
These kinds of requirements will make these cars significantly more expensive.
The bottom line is that ordinary people will still be forced to buy an electric car, while the exemptions that
have been decided on will allow the rich upper class to continue driving a combustion engine.
This is therefore not in the least the heroic deed for which the Union politicians celebrated themselves.
In fact, according to Prof. Dr. Fritz Vahrenholt, this new regulation is a deception of the voters
and the destruction of the European economy and jobs.
Vahrenholt is a German politician, manager, scientist and author.
He was formerly Hamburg's Senator for the Environment and later a board member of companies in the renewable energy sector.
In an interview with the educational platform Apollo News, he analyzes the softened ban on combustion engines and
points out that Germany in particular is suffering as a result.
He points out that cars under a length of 4.20 m receive a CO2 bonus, which is particularly useful for Renault
and FIAT, but leads to a competitive disadvantage for German companies such as Daimler or BMW.
According to the EU, company vehicles, company cars and rental cars in Germany must also be 100% electric cars,
while Bulgaria, for example, only has to meet a quota of 33%.
Vahrenholt predicts that the entire automotive supply industry will no longer be able to survive as a result of these
EU regulations and that there will be massive job losses.
He describes the end of the combustion engine as "Europe giving up on itself".
The regulations are an invitation to China to flood the European market with cheap e-cars, which were
previously produced in China using energy from coal.
He points out that a Chinese e-car has already emitted as much CO2 during the manufacturing process, including the construction
of the battery, before it arrives in Germany as a combustion engine manufactured in Germany
would have consumed after 80,000 to 100,000 km.
Even if it were the case that CO2 is harmful to the climate, which Kla.TV has already disproved with numerous programs ,
the measures taken would not lead to a reduction in global CO2.
While the EU countries are strangling their car industry with their own regulations, China, as the world's largest
CO2 emitter, is not following suit and is giving its industry a competitive advantage with electricity from coal.
In the first half of 2025, China connected more coal-fired power to the grid than it has in nine years and has not
imposed any restrictions on itself like the EU countries.
EU citizens are thus being misled into believing that they are saving the climate by abandoning combustion cars, while in
reality they are being deprived of their economic livelihood.
Conclusion: The ban on combustion engines is a further blow to the free market economy and effectively installs a
planned economy for one of Europe's largest industries.
This would hit Germany in particular the hardest, as an analysis by the Cologne Institute for Economic Research (IW Köln) shows.
It notes that Germany's special business model in the automotive industry has led to a significantly more
positive development than in other European countries.
If this hitherto successful business model now begins to falter, this means, according to IW
Köln, that Germany will lose out disproportionately.
The IW Cologne verbatim:
"The automotive industry is a key industrial sector in Germany..." and "If the automotive industry in Germany
runs into problems, it is foreseeable that this will have a noticeable impact on overall economic development."
Politicians have recognized that the people do not want to go down their predetermined self-destructive
path and are clearly against a ban on combustion engines.
However, the end of the ban on combustion engines announced by the EU is merely a deceitful deception used
by politicians and the media to reassure the people.
In reality, the agenda of the Great Reset planned by the high-grade Freemasons, as shown by KlaTV in the program:
"This conspiracy is destroying Germany" , continues unabated.
So please spread the word about this program so that this attempt at deception is exposed and the
pressure on those responsible increases further.
The media falsify, slander and conceal. That's why we need you: Share this program!
