Whether we like it or not, the future of new energy vehicles is already a foregone conclusion, after all, with more and more stringent emission regulations, car companies are not willing to spend a lot of time and money to invest in this aspect. In the past two years, car companies in various countries have begun to announce their own transformation plans. Today, let's take a look at the timetable of each car company, when is the last opportunity to buy a fuel car?
Volkswagen Group
As a large-scale traditional car company, Volkswagen believes that it is the most reluctant to enter the new energy camp. However, as a manufacturer, protest does not have much effect. Among them, the Volkswagen brand and the Audi brand will stop developing the internal combustion engine in 2021, Volkswagen will stop selling fuel vehicles in the EU market in 2035, other markets are to be determined according to the actual situation, Audi will launch the last new pure internal combustion engine new car in 2025, and stop selling fuel vehicles in 2033.
In terms of high-end brands, Bentley will add plug-in hybrids to its models in 2023, launch pure electric models in 2025, and stop selling fuel vehicles in 2030. Lamborghini is the last year to produce fuel vehicles in 2022, with plug-in hybrid models in 2023 and pure electric models in 2025. Bugatti will launch the Chiron successor in 2024 and the first plug-in hybrid model in the future.
Mercedes-Benz Group
Mercedes-Benz has begun to develop electric vehicles two years ago, launched the EQ pure electric series, and now has EQA/B/C, EQE, EQS and other models. At the same time, the high-performance AMG series will also be fully electrified. In the era of fuel vehicles, Mercedes-Benz is definitely a brand highly respected by consumers, the future transformation of new energy, under the impact of new forces of car companies, how to maintain their brand advantages has become the focus.
BMW Group
BMW's approach is also fuel vehicles and electric vehicles to promote together, although in 2021 made a decision to transform electric vehicles, but also did not suspend the upgrade of the internal combustion engine, really worthy of the Bavarian engine manufacturing plant, or do not forget the original intention. According to the deadline given by the European Union, the BMW Group will stop selling fuel vehicles in the Eu in 2030, but if other regions need it, it will still provide fuel vehicles.
Taking China as an example, BMW has launched a number of pure electric vehicle models such as ix3, ix, i4, etc., and MINI and Rolls-Royce will also carry out pure electric direction transformation in the future.
Tata Group
Jaguar Land Rover has been declining in the era of internal combustion engines, becoming a marginal brand even in China. Therefore, Jaguar Land Rover is very keen to transform electrification. According to the plan, Jaguar Land Rover will plan to stop selling fuel vehicles in 2025 and strive to be the world's first pure electric luxury brand.
However, doing the first is not to say that it can be done, and in the past two years, I have not seen too many Jaguar Land Rover electric models appear, which is difficult to be convincing. After all, the manufacture of electric vehicles can not be completed in one or two years, during which a large number of software and hardware matching and adjustment are also required. At the same time, the construction of pure electric platform also consumes a lot of time and money.
Geely Group
Geely Group, which is a big business, has also given different strategies for different brands. Among them, the Volvo brand will start to stop the sale of fuel vehicles in 2030 and fully promote new energy vehicles. Since its birth, the Polar Star brand has only sold pure electric vehicles, and will release a number of models in the future. Lotus, which sells sports cars, has discontinued Elise, Exige and Evora. From now until the end of the sale of fuel vehicles in 2028, only one EMIRA gasoline car will be sold. In addition, the smart brand will also be led by Geely in the future.
Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Group
Renault plans to split the electric vehicle business and make it fully electrified in the European Union. Nissan and high-end brand Infiniti will also stop developing internal combustion engines in 2022 and start selling fuel vehicles in 2025.
PSA will basically promote plug-in hybrids in a large area at this point in time in 2025, and stop selling fuel vehicles in 2030.
Fiat Group
Fiat will stop selling fuel vehicles in 2030, while its sports-focused Alfa Romeo and Maserati will launch plug-in hybrid models in 2025, and there is no new information about electric vehicles.
GM Group
As an American car company, GM is not as serious as the pressure of European car companies in the face of emission regulations, so the time of full electrification is relatively late, coming to 2035.
Ford Group
Ford will split off the electric vehicle business and become a separate brand, according to the plan for Ford will achieve full electrification in Europe by 2030, of course, some countries and regions will still provide fuel vehicles if needed.
In the Japanese camp, Honda will increase the proportion of EV and FCV models sold to 40% in 2030, 80% in 2035, and 100% in 2040. Toyota will achieve 100% electrification in China, Europe, and North America by 2030, achieving 3.5 million electric vehicle sales.
The Korean series plans to achieve full electrification in the European Union and other markets in 2035, and fully electrification in the Korean accident market in 2040.
summary
On the whole, most car companies have chosen to stop selling pure fuel vehicles at this point in time in 2030, but sometimes the plan cannot catch up with the changes, if the development of electric vehicles is not as expected, then the life of fuel vehicles will be longer.
