Volkswagen hails EU deal over e-fuels to drive Porsche cars

Volkswagen’s efforts on synthetic fuels are led by Porsche, which doesn’t plan to make its lucrative 911 model with a plug,

Volkswagen said the European Union’s deal on e-fuels, or synthetic fuels, will help with special applications such as emergency vehicles and low-volume models like Porsche’s 911 sports car, following an agreement over the weekend on landmark regulation to make all European cars carbon-neutral by 2035.

Europe’s biggest carmaker remains committed to the electrification of its lineup with a goal of electric vehicle  accounting for around 10% of sales this year and more than half at the end of the decade, VW said.
