September 15, 2040. Today a significant event occurred in Europe: the last person who still used a car with an internal combustion engine purchased an electric car. 67-year-old Hans Müller from Munich, Germany, decided to give up his old gasoline car and switch to environmentally friendly transport.
“I’ve been resisting change for a long time, but it’s time to move forward. My new electric car is much quieter, more economical and better for the environment,” said Müller. He traded in his old car to a car dealership, where he bought a new electric car.
The owner of the car dealership, Johan Steiner, commented: “Over the past year we have accepted more than 10 thousand cars with internal combustion engines for recycling. We strive to ensure that all vehicles on our roads are environmentally friendly.” When asked by a reporter what would happen to the last car surrendered, Steiner replied: “It will be disposed of like all other surrendered cars. This is a symbolic end to the era of cars with internal combustion engines and an important step towards a sustainable future.”
The European Commission welcomed the development, noting that a full transition to cleaner transport would help significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality in cities. Transport Commissioner Maria Santos said: “This day will go down in history as an important step towards a sustainable and green future.”
