Volkswagen welcomes EU move to drop combustion engine ban

FRANKFURT, Dec 16 (Reuters) – Volkswagen, Europe’s largest automaker, on Tuesday said an EU proposal to drop an effective ban on new combustion-engine cars from 2035 was “economically sound”.

“Opening up the market to vehicles with combustion engines while compensating for emissions is pragmatic and in line with market conditions,” the company said in e-mailed comments.
