Greenpeace activists climbed onto the roofs of some BMW AG and Mercedes-Benz Group AG display vehicles, as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz officially opened the Munich car show.

The protesters joined earlier groups that had abseiled from a bridge over a major transport artery in the Bavarian capital, as well as a bicycle demonstration snaking through the town center on Tuesday.
