FARNBOROUGH/ROUNDUP: Airbus and Boeing are fighting for new orders
FARNBOROUGH/LONDON – At the first major air show since the corona pandemic, experts are not expecting quite as large an order firework as before the crisis. Starting this Monday (July 18), manufacturers such as Airbus and Boeing will be presenting their products in Farnborough, south-west of London, in the UK, and vying for orders. In view of climate change, the topic of CO2 savings is also high on the agenda. The major aircraft manufacturers are expecting strong demand for passenger and cargo jets again in the coming years.

VW expects prices for combustion engines to rise as a result of the new emissions standard
BERLIN – The VW Group (Volkswagen (VW) vz) no longer sees cars with internal combustion engines as a cheap alternative to electric cars in the medium term. The new head of the Volkswagen brand (Volkswagen (VW) vz), Thomas Schfer, expects vehicle prices to rise significantly as a result of the planned EU emissions standard Euro 7. Combustion vehicle vehicles would each become 3,000 to 5,000 euros more expensive as a result of the more complex emission control system, he told the “Welt am Sunday”. “With a small car, these additional costs can hardly be absorbed.” Entry prices of 10,000 euros will no longer exist in the future. From 2025, the group wants to bring four electric small car models onto the market, said Schfer. In addition to the ID.2, there will be another model from VW, a Skoda and give a cupra. VW wants to offer the ID.2 “for less than 25,000 euros”.
