Chaining Action at Vienna Car Show

At a car show in the fair halls of Vienna activists chain themselves to a SUV that is being presented there. An activist is dressed up as Ferdinand Piech, the head of board of Volkswagen, wearing a Pinocchio nose. With this action they protest against these vehicles that damage the climate severely. At the same time there is a European Motor Show in Brussels where Greenpeace also sets an action. Greenpeace challenges the European car manufacturers to stop undermining a European proposal for more fuel efficient cars, and instead take real action to lower the climate impact of their fleets.
