Here it should be clarified that we are talking about the European market. It is in the EU that new strict eco-standards will be introduced first, which will make the development and creation of new gasoline and diesel engines unprofitable.
In the USA and China, Volkswagen with internal combustion engines will disappear from dealerships a few years later. Well, in South America and Africa, this process will drag on for a longer time.
But in any case, by 2050 the Volkswagen concern will completely abandon internal combustion engines and become CO2 neutral. By the way, Volkswagen Group brands will not abandon cars with internal combustion engines at the same time – each will have its own strategy. At Audi, they have already shared plans and announced the timing of the abandonment of gasoline and diesel engines.
