Federal Councillor Albert Rösti opened the 91st International Motor Show in Geneva on Tuesday. The SVP politician encouraged the automotive industry to search for sustainable solutions.
"In view of the global climate situation, we must put new technologies at the service of sustainable mobility," emphasized the head of the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC). The electrification of vehicles will increase the demand for electricity. Rösti pleaded for the new law on a secure electricity supply, which will be put to the vote on June 9.
The Motor Show is taking place in a smaller format this year. It has been shortened from eleven to seven days. Nevertheless, the organizers are hoping for around 200,000 visitors. Before the coronavirus pandemic, there were still more than 600,000.
