Porsche believes internal combustion engines can survive in the EU beyond 2035
Porsche the other dayEV Macan world premiereIn Singapore, Porsche CFO Lutz Meschke said, ``The future of the internal combustion engine may not be as bleak as it is said.''
When Lutz Meschke spoke to the Automotive News Europe media, he said, ``There is currently a lot of discussion about eliminating the internal combustion engine, and I think there may be a delay.''
This is a reference to the ban on sales of new cars equipped with internal combustion engines in the European Union from 2035.
Originally, the EU had decided not to allow the sale of all new cars with internal combustion engines after 2035, but based on the opinion of the German government, which received claims from the automobile industry, the EU changed its policy to partially allow cars with internal combustion engines. The European Commission has drafted a proposal to allow the sale of new ICE vehicles from 2035 onwards, provided that the vehicles run on climate-neutral fuel (i.e. hydrogen or synthetic fuel) in March 2023. .
*However, it is also said that the car must be able to run on completely carbon-neutral synthetic fuel and prove that it is 100% carbon-neutral, which seems to be difficult?
In any case, considering that partial approval was originally given based on the opinion of the German government, Porsche (VW) is surely involved in the content of the "many discussions" that are currently taking place. , I think that the contents are understood. Maybe though.
The fact that Porsche's CFO has said that the future of internal combustion engines may not be bleak means that regulations regarding the sale of ICE cars will be a little more strict than before...hmm, I wonder what will happen?
① After 2035, sales of new internal combustion engine vehicles will be completely prohibited.
↓
②100% If you use carbon-neutral fuel, an internal combustion engine car is fine.
↓
③Next?
Will sales of most ICE cars in the US become difficult by 2032?
In the United States, it was in the news in December last year that an industry group of automakers submitted a letter to the White House and other organizations requesting major changes to three currently proposed automobile regulations.
If the current proposal continues, it is estimated that by 2032, 671 TP1Ts out of all new cars sold will be electric vehicles, which is already a big problem.
If such a situation were to occur in the United States, even if the future of European ICE cars became a little brighter, Porsche (though not only Porsche) would not be able to completely abandon America.
I don't know what will happen, but the EV Macan has been announced, and the EV Cayman is coming out, so I'm looking forward to that, but I'm also concerned about what will happen in the future.
992.2 is also delayed/may be even more delayed (?) due to various reasons. ?
