  1. Global sales of combustion engine cars peaked in 2017.

    Global sales of combustion engine cars are well past their peak and are now falling.

    Sales of electric cars, on the other hand, are growing quickly. They more than doubled in the three years from 2022 to 2025.

  3. Stop promoting and normalising high-carbon lifestyles
    Amsterdam is banning ads for meat and fossil fuel products

    "Cities from Amsterdam to Sydney are banning fossil fuel and meat advertising, using the same playbook that helped curb smoking."

    "Burning fossil fuels is one of the key drivers of climate change, with transport, including cars, aviation and shipping, accounting for about a quarter of global emissions. Meat and dairy are responsible for the largest share of food-related greenhouse gas emissions. " >>

  5. If you want to understand the problems of the #German #CarIndustry , watch this movie counting and analyzing 1000 cars at an intersection in #Shanghai.

    And then consider that the present German government tries to "extend the life of #CombustionEngine".

  7. @benfell @GhostOnTheHalfShell

    ...the #Automotive industry, which pushed the ecocidal #CombustionEngine for at least 30 years longer than was ecologically sensible and #Technologically feasible (because it remained highly profitable).
    Thanks to #China, this
    is now finally coming to an end (electric cars.)

    Also, after the first #GreenRevolution 7), #Agriculture set on #MassProduction of crops instead of water-reduction of farming on a global scale. (mastodon.social/@HistoPol/1099)

  9. Bloomberg: The #EU is abandoning its plan to ban #combustion-engine #cars by 2035 following pressure from the industry.

  10. #GM & #Hyundai Disappoint

    GM and Hyundai announced today that they are partnering to co-develop five #vehicle models. In total, the #companies plan to produce and sell 800,000 units of these models per year. The problem is that these four models won’t be electric. They will be fully #fossilfueled, #combustionengine vehicles or will use #hybrid propulsion systems.

  12. This new #h2 #CombustionEngine could be revolutionary especially combined with new swappable h2 cartridges. I'd love to be able to replace my old pickup truck's engine with this.

  14. Rather than giving the #car industry the impetus they need to innovate, #Europe's centre right wants to reverse a ban on an objectively obsolete technology.

    The #EU should invest to help carmakers through the #EV transition, not to drag out the death of the #CombustionEngine.

  16. #Germany really shows it arrived in a post-competition era, where you don't want to change anymore: "#eFuels"
    The argument for combustion engine cars is not anymore "they're better" but - "The complicated design of a combustion engine guarantees so many jobs, they would not be needed with electric cars".
    Keeping things complicated to keep jobs - and then wondering when suddenly a BYD is there for €25,000 with 500 miles of autonomy.

  18. The German Government's #combustionengine is "creating chaos" without results.

    “So far, Volker Wissing has achieved nothing. Non-binding declarations are not a sensible solution”, says Jens Gieseke MEP.

  19. 🚗We oppose the planned ban on cars with a #combustionengine & criticise the German Government for "creating chaos" without results.

    Why?

    “What Minister Wissing is now proposing is just as non-binding as the recital from last year”, says Jens Gieseke.

    From the beginning, the EPP Group has opposed the planned ban on cars with combustion engines. We criticise the German Government for "creating chaos" without results!

  23. This is blackmail. It is one thing when Orban does it, because he has deliberately steered Hungary out of the European way, and a totally different thing when Germany does it. Threatens to blow up the consensual climate in the EU decision-making process. A very dangerous path to follow

  30. 🚗The EPP Group calls on EU Member States to vote against the planned ban on cars with a #combustionengine. Why?

    👉It will make new cars more expensive, cost thousands of jobs and lead to the decline of a core European industry!

  32. We welcome the postponement of the vote on the ban on #combustionengine.

    For a year and a half, the EPP Group has been fighting against the potential ban, and we are glad to see that others are starting to see the pitfalls.

    The EPP Group has consistently voted against the ban on cars with a #combustionengine.

    We welcome the postponement of the vote on this proposal by the Member States.

    We must reduce CO2 emissions, and we call for efforts to find a technology-neutral proposal.

  34. Almost March - & for me, being married to a #VintageCar enthusiast, that means the start of trips out in his 1934 Humber Twelve. So here’s what it’s like to travel 1930’s style - one of our drives last summer through North Wales. This model is called ‘the Vogue’, because of its #artdeco body styling. Dark clouds overshadow the future of vintage-car motoring (like that of all combustion-engine vehicles).
