U.S. car buyers won't pay for environment - Daimler

  • 22/12/1998

American car buyers like environmentally friendly vehicles - as long as they don't have to pay extra for them, DaimlerChrysler AG executives said. "A lot of people are asking for environmentally friendly cars, but nobody is willing to pay money for this, so it's a challenge for the engineers," Werner Pollman, vice president and chief environmental officer, told reporters at the company's North American headquarters north of Detroit.
