Honda is phasing out diesel cars 27.09.2019

Japanese automaker Honda has announced that it is going to completely stop selling diesel versions of its cars in Europe as early as 2021. The announcement comes just months after the company announced plans to switch the European market to exclusively hybrid and electric models by 2025.

Initially, Honda planned to increase the share of electric vehicles and hybrids in the structure of its European sales to 66% by 2025. However, the EU's negative attitude towards dieselgate has markedly reduced the popularity of "dirty" cars and increased the popularity of greener cars accordingly. Also, the situation was influenced by new, more stringent emission standards, which force manufacturers to underestimate the power and dynamics of internal combustion engines in order to meet the standards.

Apparently, with the help of the statement about the imminent end of diesel engines, Honda decided to abstract from the automakers involved in the "dieselgate". The company already has a serial Honda e electric car, the sale of which will start in the summer of 2020, and it will also not be too big a problem to offer hybrid versions in the European market, so there is no need to talk about significant losses for the automaker.

In recent years, almost all major automakers have announced plans to gradually abandon the development and production of internal combustion engines. Daimler (Mercedes-Benz) did this recently, Volkswagen did it at the end of last year, Volvo did it even earlier, and so on.

In turn, similar statements are made by cities and entire countries, including India, Denmark, Sweden, Israel, the Netherlands, China, Germany, Great Britain, France, Norway, etc.
