Remember how in the Old World they were preparing to impose on the world a new generation of automotive industry, the one without internal combustion engines and at
A little background. Not so long ago, the European Parliament passed a law requiring car manufacturers to reduce emissions of toxic substances into the atmosphere by 100%. And by 2035, cars with traditional internal combustion engines should completely disappear from product lines! The European Union dreamed of banning them, despite the outcry of consumers and automakers alike. But apparently something went wrong. More precisely, everything.
In the first days of March, the ministers of the countries that make up the EU were to vote for the final vote on the introduction of a new ban aimed at “killing” cars with internal combustion engines. However, it didn’t happen. And the reason for this is Germany, which decided to postpone the conclusions, which in fact had to postpone the event. Why did the Germans suddenly think of disrupting the European Union’s global plans for the “greening” of the auto industry, and a colossal “cut” of funds at the same time?
Apparently, the Germans realized after all that innovations may not help the car industry, but rather harm it. And not only European, but also “foreign”, especially working in the Old World. For example, the American Ford unceremoniously began mass layoffs of staff due to the lack of the need to retain employees who are not required to develop supposedly fashionable “Greenpeace” technologies. It has already been announced that several thousand people will be out of work.
Their concern was also expressed in the largest automotive alliance in the world, Stellantis, whose top executives, by the way, have long been talking about the need to get additional subsidies from the authorities so that in pursuit of a magical electric future it is not corny with no pants behind to leave. In addition, in the conditions of the global crisis, almost all car manufacturers are experiencing tremendous difficulties. And especially financially. Concerns narrow the model range, freeze production, abandon several projects, and in some cases, dumping is not weak. Well, how else to survive?
As they say, better late than never. And therefore, realizing the imminent collapse of the automotive industry, in Germany they decided that the internal combustion engine should not be deprived of the right to life. At worst, abandon engines with dual-fuel technologies. Okay, if you have to implement electric transportation and developments in autonomous driving on the last journey, but burying the entire automotive industry is already too much.
It is likely that such issues are on the agenda of behind-the-scenes talks between European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. But the fact remains: manufacturers and motorists alike, with their sweaty fists clenched with excitement, believe and expect that politicians will save the auto industry not through global reductions in CO2 emissions, but in a completely different way. Well, as they say, hope dies last.
