“The key to the mobility of the future is technological openness. To put it clearly: Putting all our technological eggs in one basket would be the completely wrong way and dangerous for the prosperity in our country. We need to diversify technologically. Anything else would be a huge risk – not least for the prosperity and jobs in Germany. Technological openness is also extremely important in order to be prepared for the regulatory requirements in the different markets. Because the introduction of alternative drives is also taking place in the different world regions at different speeds.”
– Harald Krüger in “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket – The BMW CEO calls for a massive expansion of the charging infrastructure. But unlike Volkswagen, Krüger does not want to rely solely on the electric car.” Handelsblatt, Monday, April 15, 2019, No. 74
