BMW urges foreign carmakers to pay into German transport fund

Frankfurt

FOREIGN carmakers should contribute to a proposed German fund set up to improve urban transport infrastructure, BMW CEO Harald Krueger has said, just days after a deal was reached to cut pollution and avert a ban on diesel engines.

"It would send a good signal if they would participate," Mr Krueger told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung (FAS).
