While in Russia they have plans to change the technical regulations obliging automakers to reproduce in our country cars with anti-lock braking systems, airbags, engines of an environmental class not lower than Euro-2, as well as exchange rate stabilization systems, in Europe they went a different way.
For example, the European Parliament has passed a law obliging car manufacturers to achieve a 100% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere from 2035 onwards. In other words, in the Old World they decided to completely get rid of cars with traditional internal combustion engines. Of course, they will not immediately disappear from sale, but only a few will want to buy them. Against the will of those in power, as they say, you cannot trample. In other words, by the above period, cars with internal combustion engines will systematically lose value from year to year. Especially considering that they will be completely banned in a number of EU countries.
Let’s say more: the “secondary” will also “sink” in value, which, along with the “new”, will be massively bought up by markets not subject to the “green” disease. Russia in particular, however, is also accustomed to environmentally friendly transport, but fortunately the authorities who believe in themselves have no tools, no time, no money for this.
To clean up the oldest Russian fleet of cars, it will take, if not decades, then at least cheap public transport prices. So that people who have given up personal cars for the sake of the state have the opportunity to travel on buses and similar city carts without damaging their wallets. In the meantime, this has not happened, we like to run to the Europeans for the car industry, losing them literally for a penny.
By the way, in the next seven years, CO2 emissions from passenger cars in the EU countries should be reduced by 55%, and in the next two years, the final strategy will be formed to promote electrified vehicles, whereby the ownership of petrol and diesel cars to a utopia. At least this is what the Europeans promote, spitting on consumer opinion and forgetting about the lack of lithium on the planet for batteries, but at the same time thinking about the possibility of a huge cut in the global imposition of electric transport on the masses.
Meanwhile, the car manufacturers themselves are no longer happy to have become involved in the once-fashionable developments in electric technologies and other innovations befitting Greenpeace. For example, Ford’s European divisions are preparing a large-scale reorganization due to forced work on the creation and promotion of environmentally friendly cars. The result will be a total reduction in the number of employees – thousands of specialists will be laid off, including specialist engineers, worth their weight in gold.
And the head of Stellantis, Carlos Tavares, even doubted the electric future of the auto industry. The top manager was not shy in terms and said at the last Paris Motor Show that electric cars are far from the most ideal option for the development of the industry of the future. Instead of fairy tales about electrification, he said, the authorities should provide extra subsidies to car manufacturers so as not to simply lose business in the context of the global crisis.
Meanwhile, BMW representatives admitted that they already need to lower the prices of their products to stimulate consumer demand. And we are not only talking about Europe, but also about other markets. Further. More precisely, as you already understood, less.
