Germany's Federal Court of Justice has rejected a bid by environmental group Deutsche Umwelthilfe to force BMW and Mercedes-Benz to stop selling new gasoline-powered vehicles by the end of the decade. The decision is significant for both companies, which operate globally and depend heavily on exports from their home market. The court ruled that no specific carbon limits had been assigned to individual corporations, effectively dismissing the legal basis of the claim. Despite the legal challenge, both automakers continue to pursue electrification strategies aimed at reducing emissions. The ruling comes amid evolving policies in Europe, where regulators have adjusted plans to phase out new combustion-engine vehicles by 2035.
