Campaigners are pressing Germany's car industry to go green and abandon internal combustion engines.

Thousands of protesters, many on bicycles, gathered in the southern German city of Frankfurt Saturday to protest outside the city's motor show, part of a new wave of environmental activism.

Diesel-fuelled cars have remained at low levels of popularity in Germany following Volkswagen's massive"dieselgate" emissions cheating scandal of 2015. "Such tank-like cars do not belong in cities," tweeted Stephan von Dassel, a Greens politician and mayor of Berlin's Mitte district, where the fatal accident happened.

"The automotive industry has still not understood the climate crisis," Greenpeace activist Benjamin Stephan told AFP.
