What you can't imagine is that for every 100 cars sold in the Chinese passenger car market, there will not be a single diesel car.
Of course, I'm talking about the passenger car market, which is completely different from other markets in that diesel cars can show their opportunities, there are too few and too few, and the industry seems to have done a good job in advance, and invariably kicked diesel engines out of the circle.
You can think about it, can you buy a diesel engine in the passenger car market?
The market decline of diesel engines has almost become a fixed number in the market, and the complete abandonment of the traditional passenger car market and the arrival of the new energy market are destined to make the original small market share of diesel vehicles become smaller.
In September this year, the penetration rate of the new energy market exceeded 20%, which is a big breakthrough.
Fundamentally speaking, although diesel engines have the advantages of low fuel consumption and strong power, they still have not gotten rid of the energy crisis fundamentally, and do not belong to the positioning of new energy, and it is difficult to have a new incremental market in the global market.
In fact, diesel engines are basically exhausted in the field of passenger cars, not only in the Chinese market, but also in Europe and the United States.
Honda has just held an electric conference, saying that it will not sell traditional internal combustion engine models after 2023, that is to say, future models will inevitably be electrified, what is electrification? Internal combustion engine mixed with electric motor is a new drive method, which will be a hot topic in the future.
It is difficult for diesel engines to adapt to the new hybrid architecture, on the one hand, the current technical direction of the enterprise, has not developed a diesel hybrid architecture, on the other hand, for more enterprises, even if the hybrid architecture, is only a transition, and the final direction is still pure electric vehicles.
In the past decade, there have been no companies willing to develop diesel engines.
For Chinese enterprises, the technical threshold for diesel engines is higher, the noise suppression needs to be stronger, the reliability control needs to be better, and the gearbox needs to be developed to match the speed, which makes the diesel engine almost not made in China's own brands.
In fact, only a small number of European and American companies have tentatively launched diesel engines, but the market performance is not good.
For consumers, the tractor is synonymous with the diesel engine, and the noise and vibration will bring a worse car experience, and the poor diesel engine oil is the culprit.
As a result, after the development of new energy, diesel engines have withdrawn from the market at a very fast speed.
On the one hand, many enterprises do not have diesel vehicle technical reserves, the reliability of the diesel vehicles produced is poor, and the passenger attributes are very weak, on the other hand, the development of diesel vehicles is of little significance, and is not in line with the future strategic direction.
From a real practical point of view, the advantages of diesel engines are far higher than gasoline engines, and the advantages of smaller displacement, stronger power and lower fuel consumption are destined to the specific advantages of diesel engines. In fact, in the European market, there are many bright spots of diesel engines for small family cars, but domestic companies do not do well in diesel engines, foreign-funded enterprises do not implement diesel engines and consumers' prejudice against diesel engines, so that the number of diesel engines in the Chinese market is less than one day.
