Cooperation between Hungary and Germany
He met Audi chief executive Gernot Dollner, BMW board member Frank Weber, and Mercedes vice president Eckart von Klaeden, the ministry said in a statement.
Ahead of Hungary’s turn at the EU rotating presidency, they discussed the competitiveness of the German and European automotive industry, especially regarding the electric vehicle industry and the transition to electric vehicles, and agreed that electric cars would be an inextricable part of Europe’s future.
Cooperation between Hungary and the German automotive industry played a decisive role in this, the statement said.
Nagy stressed the need for an action plan to speed up the adoption of electric cars and fulfill the 2035 green transition, covering the whole of Europe. Related infrastructure such as a long-distance, fast and hassle-free continental network must be developed with EU and private investments, they agreed.
