A German court has rejected a lawsuit from an environmental group which sought to bar carmaker Mercedes-Benz from selling vehicles with combustion engines that emit greenhouse gases after 2030.

The state court in Stuttgart, where Mercedes-Benz Group is based, said it is up to legislators to decide what measures should be taken against climate change, German news agency dpa reported.
