· 2023 German automakers will end internal combustion engine development
Continental is one of the leading automotive manufacturers in the industry, and they say that German automakers can end all the development of internal combustion engines within six years.

Wolfgang Schaefer, head of the Continental Group's finance department, said in an interview with Reuters last week: "Before the end of the internal combustion engine development, we also plan to develop a new generation of internal combustion engines again. But after 2023 We will terminate the development of all internal combustion engines. Because electric vehicles are not only a development trend, but more and more jobs are also completed through electricity, the development of internal combustion engines will not meet the needs of economic development."
It is understood that the German government will ban the use of internal combustion engines on the road after 2030. In the future, only zero-emission vehicles will be allowed to go on the road, leaving the German automobile manufacturers more than 10 years of buffer period, so this is also important for German automakers to stop developing internal combustion engines. one of the reasons. Schafer said: "After 2023, most German car manufacturers will invest a lot of money in the development of electric drive systems and autonomous driving technology."
In addition, the German ICE (intercity express train) will also stop development in 2023. Germany ICE is a means of connecting cities and solving the transportation of people and goods. It connects more than 130 cities in Germany and plays an important role in the exchange and exchange of personnel and information, as well as economic construction.
So even if Schafer’s predictions come true, it doesn’t mean that the internal combustion engine or intercity express will disappear completely in 2023. Even if the development of ICE ceases in 2023, German automakers can continue to develop their own autonomous driving technology or new electric vehicles. However, if ICE is not further developed in the future, they will gradually fall behind and become a pile of scrap iron in Germany.
