Ultimately not very surprising and rather logical announces: Hyundai announces the abandonment of diesel engine development.The current blocks will continue to be sold a few years before disappearing.
This kind of announcement should multiply in the months and years to come.With the arrival of the new E-GMP electricity platform and the IONIQ 45, the Korean manufacturer goes a little more to electrified cars, abandoning diesel which has never been the big specialty of theMark.
The media Korea Juongang Daily explains that Hyundai abandons the development of diesel engines today.The family of specific diesel engines Hyundai was rather reduced, and confined to France to the series of "U" blocks, sold under the name CRDI.
Only the development of petrol engines will continue since they will be used for a few more years on rechargeable hybrids and hybrids to make the transition to the whole electric.
Hyundai is not alone since many general brands will stop research and development in this engine which nevertheless retains interest in large rollers.These will therefore have to turn to high-end brands or decide to take the plunge towards hybrid and electric.
