Environmentalists suffered a setback on Monday when Germany’s top appeals court threw out their cases seeking to ban Mercedes-Benz and BMW from selling new combustion-engine cars from November 2030. - The federal court of justice in Karlsruhe upheld lower court rulings against the lawsuits, brought by three managing directors from the DUH environmental lobby - The DUH had based its case on a “carbon budget” calculated for each of the two automakers - But the court ruled that no such budget had been allocated to individual companies - Both Mercedes-Benz and BMW welcomed the ruling while stressing their commitment to sustainability - The decision provides “legal certainty for companies operating in Germany,” a BMW spokesperson said.
