After announcing the cessation of operation of the internal combustion engine, planned for 2035, all manufacturers logically redesigned their calendar. Almost all of them are already well supplied with electricity, and those who are late are in a hurry to make their transition. But is the heat engine completely gone for all of this?
The internal combustion engine has a future outside of Europe
As you know, this measure applies to cars sold only in the Eurozone. But if we change the scale and take a little height, the future will not be quite the same. Goal climatically neutral it is a global ambition, but in reality many states are reluctant to go down this path. And some harsh measures were even softened!
For example, in China, the world’s largest car market and largest CO2 emitter, half of all new cars are expected to be ” New energy vehicles from 2035. By this, China means electric cars and till hydrogen, but also classic plug-in hybrids. 50% for the rest common hybrids enough So, internal combustion engine cars combined with electric motors will probably still be in the game. And, according to estimates, the final end of internal combustion engines will not come before 2060 year !

And in other countries of the world?
If we look at other important countries, the situation is not as radical as in Europe. In Japan, for example, models hybrids can continue to be sold and no end date is currently under consideration. On the other hand, clean gasoline engines should also end sales by 2035.
Other continents, such as South America or Africa, for example, do not there are no plans for a large-scale ban on internal combustion vehicles. This especially applies to the fact that there is simply no infrastructure for the development of electric vehicles. Be it the installation of charging stations, terminals, home sockets, etc. According to estimates, on the world car market, cars with an internal combustion engine may still be registered even after the middle of the century! Our thermoblocks still have a few years ahead of them…
