An agreement between Germany and the European Union on e-fuel, which will allow endothermic vehicles to continue to be sold even after 2035, as long as they can run on this fuel only, has been welcomes Benedetto Vignacompany managing director ferrari.
Speaking at an event hosted by Reuters, the manager stressed that the decision would provide greater freedom of production. galloping horse will be able to offer buyers models e-fuel, hybrid and electric, leaving customers with a choice.
The good news for us as a company is that in addition to electric vehicles, we can also move forward with combustion engine vehicles. This solution is very interesting to us because it allows endothermic engines to go beyond 2036. We don’t want to tell customers which car to use. We want to make available to them three types of power plant: hybrid, electric and internal combustion engines, and they themselves will choose.
However, the e-fuel agreement it won’t change Ferrari’s plans which in 2025 will present its first electric car. And as for the much-discussed e-fuel price, Vigna expects costs to come down over the next few years as development continues.
This is a new technology, and like all new technologies, they will become cheaper over time.
Satisfaction with the agreement also comes from Volkswagen Group finds e-fuel useful especially for low-volume models such as the Porsche 911.
We see synthetic fuels as a useful addition to our existing fleet of internal combustion and special purpose engines. Such fuels produced using renewable energy sources contribute to sustainable mobility.
Statements that are not surprising given that Porsche has been investing in e-fuel for some time now.. Recall that the German brand, together with some partners, built a pilot plant in Chile for the mass production of this synthetic fuel. It is clear that the Volkswagen Group will continue to push ahead with its ambitious electrification plan in parallel.
