NRW, Lower Saxony and Ba-Wü create H-marks for cars over 5 liters of displacement

These three federal states with green government participation have today jointly decided not to issue H-marks for cars over 4999 cm3 in their jurisdiction and to collect already issued H-marks from Tuesday. The green Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann, who already made speeches by quoting “Less cars are better than more”, said about the reason:”The H-mark is intended to promote and protect automotive cultural property. By this car were meant like beetles, 2 CV u nd Fiat Toppolino. In no case do we want to see automobile monsters from the USA with 6 or 7 liters of displacement, which have never been home here in Europe anyway. The CO2 emissions of these cars simply no longer match the climate protection targets that the governments of NRW, Niedersachen and Baden-Württemberg have set themselves.” Kretschmann could not answer the question of a journalist, whether this should also apply to the Mercedes 600 or Mercedes 300 SEL 6.3. ng: I think it’s a huge mess, but fortunately I’m not affected (residential home of Bavaria).
