JAKARTA - After approval from the European Union regarding sales of ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) cars after 2035, several manufacturers are starting to consider continuing production of the emissioned engine.

The European Union has allowed automotive manufacturers to sell combustion engine cars after 2035, as long as they use synthetic fuel. This encourages Stellantis to produce combustion engines with synthetic fuel.

Reporting from Carscoops, Monday, April 24, 2023, the parent company of Jeep and Peugeot is testing combustion engines to determine whether some of these machines can run on synthetic fuel.

The machine includes production from 2014 to 2029 consisting of gasoline and diesel powertrains. Stellantis said it would adopt efuels to allow combustion-powered engines to reduce the amount of emissions in vehicles without the need to switch to Electric Vehicle (EV).

"We are doubling our performance in fighting global warming by testing carbon neutral fuels as an additional solution to our holistic decarbonization approach," said Stellantis Chief Executive Carlos Tavares.

The program also allows Stellantis to cut emissions from 28 million vehicles with combustion engines produced since 2014 in Europe. With this, Stellantis plays its role in driving carbon-free in 2038 using efuels on ICE vehicles.

Meskipun demikian, Stellantis tetap menunjukkan komitmennya untuk menjual sepenuhnya kendaraan listrik pada akhir dekade ini di Eropa.
