With EV's not selling, then Stellantis says "no Gas vehicle for you!" ... Will it come to motorcycle sales too?
Rev up those frustrations, because Stellantis' latest move might just grind your gears. The European automotive giant is planning to cut down on the production of internal combustion engine vehicles to dodge hefty fines for CO2 emissions. For those who love the roar of a traditional engine, this is a tough pill to swallow.
Slow EV sales and accumulating EV inventory have put Stellantis in a bind, forcing them to rethink their output. Now, with a hard shift towards electric vehicles, they're aligning with stringent CO2 regulations set by European authorities. Jean-Philippe Imparato, the Chief Operating Officer of Stellantis Europe, revealed at the Paris Auto Show that this strategy aims to plug the financial leaks and comply with environmental rules.
But for fans of gas-powered cars, this means fewer options and a tougher time finding the vehicle they truly want. It's clear Stellantis is betting big on electric, but that leaves many questioning what happens to those who aren't ready to make the switch. Stay tuned, because this ride is getting bumpier for the traditionalists!
