To reduce CO2 emissions, many countries signed the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate, pledging to cut their emissions by certain targets. These standards would complement the EPA’s final rule on nitrogen oxides and other criteria pollutant emissions for new heavy-duty engines and vehicles, which was adopted in December 2022.

Their gleaming galleries feature many historic and influential cars, almost all of them powered by petroleum-fueled internal combustion (IC) engines. Looking ahead, Stuttgart will likely continue to be the heart of the German auto industry, but how long will the IC engine remain the heart of the automobile?
