Jochen Flasbarth, has called for an increase in truck tolls and an extension to federal and rural roads. The Federal Environment Agency had considered the question of a car toll, he said in the “Interview of the Week” of Germany Radio on. According to him, it would be from an environmental perspective only makes sense if it is determined by the length of the route traveled. A vignette would offer no advantages.

Recently, the transport ministers of the countries had agreed on an approach that proposes an extension of the truck toll. The ultimatum demanded by the CSU car toll for foreign vehicles was called as an option, but still needs to be checked for compatibility with EU law.

Flasbarth also called for increased investment in energy efficiency. Should be increased, especially the funding for energy-efficient rental housing. This would have a positive effect on heating costs, he said.

Given the increasing power generation from lignite warned Flasbarth a renaissance of coal in Germany. It was also important that plant species in addition to the green energy production there were still, in the event that the sun and the wind does not not seem woe. “And there may be no going back to coal, but we need a little more gas than we currently have,” he said.
