Kuhn and Künast at the IAA:
“Beginnings of an ecological orientation now visible”
Frankfurt am Main, September 14, 2007.
“At this IAA the beginnings of an ecological orientation are now visible in the German automotive industry, even if not yet in the whole fleet. The basic direction is right,” emphasized Fritz Kuhn, chairman of the parliamentary group of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen (Germany’s Green Party). He was speaking after an extensive walking tour of the trade show, which he and Renate Künast, chairwoman of the Grünen (the Greens’) parliamentary group, undertook accompanied by Matthias Wissmann, President of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) on Friday. Kuhn said he liked the new small car “Up” from Volkswagen, and also recognized the fuel-saving technology that BMW is using “across the product range.” At the DaimlerChrysler stand Renate Künast got behind the wheel of a roomy Mercedes ML 450 Hybrid, which will be launched onto the market in 2009 with 340 hp and consuming only 7.7 l of gasoline to travel 100 km. The two politicians took seats together in the VW Polo BlueMotion – whose 99 g CO2/km makes it a “CO2 champion.” At the Porsche stand Kuhn and Künast heard about the new hybrid technology of the Cayenne.
The Greens’ leaders expressed their great satisfaction with the IAA stand of their own party in Hall 4.1. “Above all many young engineers are coming to see us at the stand and they are pleased that the Greens are represented at the IAA. Obviously young technical graduates in particular are very enthusiastic about the idea of linking ecology and economy. In our opinion, a car that is to be successful on the market must emit little CO2 – but of course it can have a smart design,” Fritz Kuhn said.
