EU To Germany: Use The Explosive, Toxic Stuff, Or Else

Brussels set the German government an ultimatum:  Force automakers to use the R1234yf, or we'll see you in court. Germany has 10 weeks to answer, writes Der Spiegel,  before the  EU will file charges. German carmakers, notably Daimler, refuse to use the R1234yf, refrigerant. They say the new stuff is highly flammable, and when it burns, it produces toxic gases that would violate the Chemical Weapons Convention, would the burning car be used in warfare. Germany's Kraftfahrtbundesamt will conduct a series of crash-tests with cars of various makers. Brussels is unlikely to receive an answer before these tests are concluded. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
