Until then, only Audi confirmed within the Volkswagen group the end of the development of thermal engines.Volkswagen today joins a list that should grow quickly in the coming years.
The current Volkswagen engines still have the capacity to be improved to try to pass the Euro 7 standard up to coming, but you will not have to wait for new engines.This has just confirmed Ralf Brandstätter, the boss of the Volkswagen brand.
"The (current) engines are still in development.We still need it for a while, and they must be as effective as possible.During the next decade, these cars must still bring money to finance the entire transformation ".But there will be no more new family of engines, those currently offered on the existing ranges will go at their end to update to pass the standards, then slowly retire when approaching...2040.
Concretely, Audi and Volkswagen, who are the two engines suppliers for the vast majority of the VW group, display a more precise long -term schedule, with a family of TSI/TFSI/TDI engines to spend Euro 7 from 2026, and aSweet transition to the electric until the end of the 2030s.
Audi has already confirmed to stop the development of new combustion engines.Like Volkswagen, the brand will focus on existing mechanics to make them last as much as possible in order to make initial investments profitable, and while waiting for the electric soup to take a little more in Europe.
