In a letter to the European Commission, January 2007, Germany's three biggest carmakers, Volkswagen, Daimler-Chrysler and BMW, have criticised a planned European Union target to cut car exhaust emissions as 'unrealistic' and 'technically unrealisable' and warned that it could make swathes of the European industry unviable. The letter was also signed by the Eurpean heads of Ford and General Motors.
