State Secretary Sepp Schellhorn advocates for a reform of the government car system.

He will propose that there be two car models with fixed equipment for ministers and state secretaries. This way, no one has to choose a vehicle, the Federal Procurement Agency will handle it, and there will be no discussions, explained NEOS State Secretary Sepp Schellhorn in the "Kleine Zeitung".

Only Two Models Should Be Available

The corresponding change could be implemented very quickly if the other ministries agreed to it. Schellhorn himself came under discussion because he chose a more luxurious car. The State Secretary justified this by stating that the leasing contract with the higher-quality vehicle was overall cheaper than the car previously available to him.

FPÖ General Secretary Michael Schnedlitz sees Schellhorn as the wrong person to establish a new regulation: "Letting Josef Schellhorn, of all people, philosophize about company car discipline, who has just been noticed for grabbing the luxury steering wheel, is like promoting a bank robber to cashier," he said in a statement.
