Berlin 's environment ministry has rejected calls by one of the nation's states for tax incentives to promote sales of low-emission diesel and electric vehicles. Lower Saxony , the premier of Bavaria , has requested that car tax should be reduced for owners of newer diesel models that meet the latest Euro-6 emissions standards, while Stephan Weil , the prime minister of Stephan Weil , has proposed financial incentives for diesel drivers to switch to more efficient models.
