Like previous years, also this year a key-note was provided by the State Secretary of the  Federal Ministry of Transport and digital Infrastructure (BMVI), Dr. Tamara Zieschang. She indicated that to achieve the high greenhouse gas reduction targets in 2030 (-40% compared to 1990-level) in Germany all available options are necessary. she also highlighted the emission trading scheme for transport that the coming years will be the central policy instrument.
