Mercedes-Benz is talking about abandoning the full electric vehicle plan, not completely abandoning the development of electric vehicle technology, Mercedes-Benz originally planned to achieve 100% full production of pure electric and hybrid vehicles by 2030, but currently lowered the target to 50%, and will continue to improve and produce internal combustion engines in the future. Therefore, it can be seen that Mercedes-Benz has postponed the electric vehicle plan, or taken the mixed development route of fuel vehicles and electric vehicles.
There are two reasons behind the strategic adjustment made by some European car companies represented by Mercedes-Benz:
1. China's own brand tram technology has achieved breakthrough development in recent years, while traditional European car companies are lagging behind in development due to the fact that the tail is not lost, so they are facing realistic pressure, and under the premise of retaining the traditional technical advantages of fuel vehicles, they will gradually promote electric vehicle technology, which is more stable and safer;
2. A more important reason is that the growth of the global electric vehicle market has slowed down, especially in Europe and the United States, one of the reasons is the decline in support, such as Germany's cancellation of electric vehicle subsidies, so Chinese brands have entered overseas markets in a big way, and the development of European car companies themselves is lagging behind.
3. The rapid rise of artificial intelligence technology has made many traditional technology industries and manufacturing industries see unprecedented opportunities, and at the same time, there are more possibilities in the technology development path, such as intelligent cockpit and unmanned driving technology, which may reshape and define automotive products.
Hotspot engine plan Therefore, we want to be the first to wait for the current European and American car companies in the development of electric vehicle strategic adjustment, if only based on this phenomenon, and deduce that electric vehicle technology has no future is too reckless and arbitrary, China is no longer a backward and following the country, in many aspects adhere to their own development path, do not blindly follow or follow the trend, the key is in the development of core technology must have determination and overall planning.
