In the past few years, the focus of automobile development in countries around the world has been on new energy vehicles. The mainland has used almost most of its resources to point new energy science and technology, thus achieving corner overtaking.
But the choice of international giants in Europe and the United States is also very interesting, since new energy vehicles can not win China, then simply give up this field, back to the internal combustion engine track, so a number of international giant companies have announced that they want to re-study the next generation of internal combustion engines.
International automakers announced the redevelopment of internal combustion engines
At present, there are indeed some car companies in the international community that they have once again announced that they will re-engage in internal combustion engine vehicles. This includes international companies, such as Volkswagen.
Volkswagen executives claim that in order to further secure their competitive advantage in the automotive field, they will invest about one-third of the group's funds in the development of its next-generation internal combustion engine. The total of these funds will amount to a staggering 60 billion euros.
Volkswagen is definitely an old European car company, and even they have invested in a new generation of internal combustion engines, and other auto companies will naturally take action soon, such as Mercedes-Benz.
Mercedes-Benz's CEO said back in March that they were fully prepared to continue producing internal combustion engine vehicles. They also want to further iterate on existing internal combustion engine vehicles over the next decade.
Toyota's chairman also said that the development of a new generation of internal combustion engine vehicles is inevitable for the future, and it can be said that the east wind of internal combustion engines has once again blown down from European and American car companies.
Therefore, some people believe that when these international car companies have re-announced that they want to develop a new generation of internal combustion engines, will mainland car companies also be able to invest some resources and energy in this area? You can't put all your eggs in the basket of new energy vehicles!
But this idea is probably wrong, because we have to understand why European car companies suddenly said that they want to re-engage in internal combustion engine vehicles, in fact, this reason is very simple, that is, because their new energy plan is not smooth, to be precise, they can't win China, so they give up.
In fact, car companies in Europe and the United States have also proposed to engage in new energy vehicles as early as possible. However, due to technical constraints and various factors, their plans were slow to complete.
Top technology companies in Europe and the United States, such as Apple, have given up on their plans to build cars. Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz also announced at the end of last year and the beginning of this year that they would temporarily postpone or stop their plans to completely replace traditional cars with new energy vehicles.
However, these car companies in Europe and the United States still need to make money, so they can only continue to develop a new generation of internal combustion engines. And they originally had a technical advantage in the field of internal combustion engine vehicles, but now they are just investing more resources and energy in internal combustion engine vehicles.
This in itself is a familiar road, and it will not take long to produce new results. European car companies will have no choice but to give up their plans to fully use new energy vehicles, which is also directly related to the imperfection of supporting facilities in Europe.
Although European countries have also adopted a series of subsidy measures, it is hoped that the new energy system can be improved as soon as possible. For example, the full rollout of new energy charging piles across Europe, but this will require a lot of time and money. And the pace of infrastructure development in European countries is itself very slow. The end result is that new energy vehicle technology in Europe is developing even faster than the spread of their facilities.
Then, even if these top car companies can really come up with a complete set of new energy vehicle design and production lines, it makes no sense for users to find a place to charge. Therefore, European car companies are forced to reinvest resources in internal combustion engines, but this does not mean that they will always engage in internal combustion engines in the future, because new energy is the future.
New energy vehicles have absolute advantages over traditional energy vehicles
Now is an era of environmental protection, because serious environmental pollution and global warming have brought a devastating impact on the earth's ecological environment. A large number of extinctions, as well as the occurrence of various extreme weather, are warning mankind, so far-sighted countries have put forward plans to protect the ecological environment.
For example, countries hope to achieve carbon neutrality, reduce carbon emissions, and curb global warming around the middle of this century. The polluting gas emitted by automobiles is the largest polluting gas emitted among all human vehicles, after all, the total number and ownership of automobiles are more.
If these traditional energy vehicles can be completely replaced by new energy vehicles that do not pollute the environment, the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions can be greatly reduced, thereby protecting the ecological environment.
If any other country still focuses on internal combustion engine vehicles, it means that it will be difficult for them to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Not to mention the flaws of internal combustion engine vehicles are also there.
Internal combustion engine vehicles themselves run on fuel, which is a non-renewable resource, and the reserves on the earth are inherently very limited. And the consumption of this resource by human society is further increasing, which is not a sustainable development path.
If all the fuel is mined and consumed in the future, then human society that relies on modern transportation and technological civilization systems will collapse. Therefore, even in the long term, the gradual replacement of old internal combustion engine fuel systems with electric energy systems is inevitable in the future.
As far as China is concerned, we simply do not have the need to continue to engage in internal combustion engine vehicles.
China is not necessary
Today, there is no objective need for China to continue to upgrade its internal combustion engine vehicles. First of all, from a technical point of view, China's new energy vehicles themselves are relatively advanced in technology and mature in system, so the mainland's new energy vehicle production and sales rank first in the world.
Moreover, the mainland's new energy vehicles are not only selling well in the Chinese market, but also sold to many countries, developing countries and European markets, and are also buying China's new energy vehicles, so China's new energy vehicles are already an inevitable trend to internationalize.
The mainland's advance layout in this field has also helped us gain a lot of advantages. So at this time, if we follow the car companies in the United States and Western countries to go back to internal combustion engine vehicles, isn't it just to abandon the basics?
It may even lead us to waste more resources on conventional internal combustion engine vehicles, and thus there is no way to secure the advantages already gained in the field of new energy. This is not supposed to be.
Secondly, the future development prospects of China's new energy vehicles are also very optimistic, because China's energy and resources invested in the new energy transportation system are incomparable to the United States and Western countries.
In just a few years, we have built a large number of charging piles across the country and established a complete set of new energy vehicle use and service systems. Although the owners of new energy vehicles in mainland China have also reflected some problems when using these cars, in general there are fewer problems than those in Europe and the United States.
Moreover, further promoting the popularization of new energy vehicles is also for the long-term national interest. Originally, the mainland's domestic transportation system relied on those internal combustion engine vehicles, but relying solely on internal combustion engine vehicles is risky.
Because the mainland's own oil reserves and exploitation are relatively limited, it is difficult to meet domestic consumption, so we need to import a large amount of fuel oil from the international trade market every year. China is the main importer of fuel.
Importing fuel will cause foreign exchange loss, and we can use the money from foreign fuel to develop the economy and develop science and technology. Buying fuel is giving money to those fuel-producing countries, not to mention that it is equivalent to putting our own energy lifeline in the hands of other countries.
Fortunately in peacetime, we can buy enough fuel through foreign trade. But once the international situation changes in the future, or even a war breaks out, what should we do? Therefore, it is not safe to rely on the oil-fired energy system all the time, unless we can also find a large number of oil mines in China that are easy to extract.
Promoting the development of new energy systems is the best way to effectively circumvent possible blockades by the United States and Western countries. Because electricity itself is sustainable compared to fuel.
And China's electricity generation itself is not low. We currently have a variety of power generation modes, such as wind power, hydropower, photovoltaic power, nuclear power generation and other clean power generation systems.
There are also coal-fired power generation that pollutes the environment, but in any case, we can say how much electricity we will produce. In this way, there is no need to worry about being stuck in the energy by other countries.
And the big users of fuel in China don't happen to be all kinds of internal combustion engine vehicles? Therefore, reducing the total number of internal combustion engine vehicles and increasing the total number of new energy vehicles can effectively reduce fuel use and make our country get rid of dependence on foreign fuel faster.
So even from the perspective of national security, we should not follow the example of the United States and Western countries to continue to develop internal combustion engine vehicles, they are not short of fuel, but we are lacking. When considering a problem, you must fully consider various factors in order to arrive at the most correct choice.
Epilogue:
Nowadays, many people still have a lot of interest in internal combustion engine vehicles, mainly because internal combustion engine vehicles do have some advantages over new energy vehicles. But these advantages are only focused on their earlier appearance and more complete systems, after all, internal combustion engine vehicles have a history of more than 100 years.
New energy vehicles are new products that have only appeared in the last two or three decades, so it is normal for car owners to have doubts about new energy vehicles. However, with the continuous development of technology, the service system of new energy vehicles will gradually improve.
You must not be affected by the slightest unhealthy trend blown back by foreign countries, and you must follow the established strategy.
